Only a few more days of spring left and we're already in the 90's every day with good rain the last few weeks.

The garden is booming.... watermelons are getting big, I had fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes in a salad yesterday and we canned the first batch of tomatoes today.

There's a significant and dangerous heat wave this weekend through much of next week, but the severe thunderstorms today are keeping it from getting too hot so far. In other areas, there is a Critical Risk of fire weather over parts of the Great Basin/Four Corners today, and frost advisories and freeze warnings are in effect for parts northern California and northeastern Nevada respectively for tonight. Yeah, this wacky weather sure sounds like spring.

My roses in the front yard are almost done blooming. I thought they were going to be done at the beginning of the week but a few stragglers popped up. I'd like to deadhead the whole thing before I go up north for almost 3 weeks. It doesn't need to put its energy into making rose hips that I don't use. That energy would be better spent in the root system before I transplant a piece of it. I have a bunch of roses by the fence in the back yard. I should get a pic later today.

It's 86 degrees but feels like 92 at 4:30 in the afternoon. I deadheaded 2/3 of my rosebush and cut everything off that was sticking over the fence in the neighbor's driveway. Whenever I finish, I have to bag up the bushes in a yard waste bag. It's not enough to fill the bag, so I'll save it until I cut some stuff out of the back fence. I took some pics of the roses in the back yard at 10 in the morning after it quit raining. There are some kind of lilies or daylilies in there too, but they haven't bloomed yet. There's a bunch of trees and vines growing through the fence all the time, so enough to fill a bag. There not much grass at the end of my lawn, but it's all green, so it's good enough. I mowed a bunch of white clover between the street and sidewalk the last time I mowed. That sucks, but it's green most of the time, and it's better than that *&^%$# chicory.
