My pillow in my suitcase was still cool from Jill's house this morning in Portland. My major impression driving home from the airport today is that there is no traffic! No one wants to get out.Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917760450672230390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933274477337608351.post-77484286422379025142012-07-28T07:56:35.707-05:002012-07-28T07:56:35.707-05:00It is interesting to see what is surviving and wha...It is interesting to see what is surviving and what is dying in this heat. We have a break in the drought. Have gotten at least 5 inches since July 20th. This morning it was actually very pleasant temperature wise, although it will go back up next week.beshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867525979309612180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933274477337608351.post-59263962633319798792012-07-22T18:22:07.957-05:002012-07-22T18:22:07.957-05:00By the way, those "words" that we have t...By the way, those "words" that we have to enter to prove we're not a "bot" are even difficult for us mere mortals to decipher. I had to request a different word to decipher multiple times before I got one that I thought I might be able to read. Now to jump through the hoops to post this!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10910555607797611279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933274477337608351.post-2099052964083139392012-07-22T18:19:54.164-05:002012-07-22T18:19:54.164-05:00Appreciated reading your report from droughty Arka...Appreciated reading your report from droughty Arkansas. It is certainly worth investigating xeriscaping, but I thought figs thrived in arid conditions. Aren't they a desert plant? We have two rain barrels that we use for watering some of our plants, as well as the container gardens. But Tom uses a sprinkler for the regular garden.
