2nd Crop Figs

The second crop of figs is getting ripe. The dry weather could have something to do with it. The birds are inflicting less damage than they did on the 1st crop. The bird bath was almost empty yesterday. Maybe the birds have decided that I was a poor host and moved on. The bird bath is full now. It is okay if they come back. I hope they won’t eat the figs.

Yesterday’s temperature was up to 90+. The poor little cabbages and broccoli looked like they had expired. They got misted really well, but it may just be too hot for them. It is supposed to go to 91 today. Is this really September 8th?

NPR had a program about climate change yesterday. They explained the difference between climate and weather. It sounds almost like the stock market. We have to watch the trends in climate. For weather, we watch the sky. The 10 day forecast is calling for thunderstorms on Saturday now. Yesterday, they were not calling for thunderstorms on Sunday only.
