Summer

Chirimollas and cauliflower too!
First came the sweet peas of spring, next the Matilija Poppies (spectacular!) and then the big dry.  We've had two months without rain... so the sunflowers and tomatillos need daily watering and everything else at least weekly. The plums, apples and figs haven't had much but seem to be coping. My guests from Finland and Liz who has been in the cabin helped with a leaky hose irrigation system on the figs.. whew, soon we'll have grilled figs with feta!

Lisa and Taapani from Finland
Two days ago it rained, today is drizzly so there is hope, and has it been HUMID? Oh boy, I did not leave the desert for dry and I do prefer rain but muggy heat, oh my my my!

Ciao for now, busy day with Christmas parties beginning.  Happy holidays to you all!
