Re: Another Question/Elephant Ears

Well, Marge, it was 95 in this part of zone 7 today. I felt every degree, too. The nursery where I work just got 3,000 baby pansies for the fall, and she, her friend and I potted and schlepped most of the day. I also helped with breaking down cardboard boxes and cleaning up other debris. I am exhausted.

Lordy, Pam, I know you like it hot, but I don't know how you stand
that climate.  The short time I spent in Texas was more than enough -
cracked earth and furnace hot is too much for me.  We're still in the
mid to upper 80s but it is cooling off at night again  - praise be!
Some around here may get a shower this week but no guarantee
according to the weather person on TV.  When they start saying we
need rain, you KNOW we need rain.  They usually act like rain is the
worst calamity in the world.

Sounds like you're pushing dust-bowl conditions...not good!

Where's Rich and his rain dance?  He needs to point it toward you!

I've been hauling hose since March. I noticed they remodeled the

city

offices when I paid my last water bill. I know I financed some of

that

reconstruction. No break here yet, still high 90's day mid to upper

70's

night. And they said on the weather Friday looks like no rain the

rest of

this month either. It's a miracle anything in my yard is still

alive. Glad

to hear from you though.
