Someone had a regular drip from their window air conditioner at their rental home and after seeing how it could fill a small bucket with water every day, they very neatly attached a funnel and plastic tubing leading the drip to a rose bush. Until their landlord fixes things the rose will benefit.<br /><br />I thought I was broiling walking around for a few hours in (mostly) direct sun a few days ago--and it was only 75 degrees. Even hiking in the woods is rough on a full-sun day. <br /><br />You could go directly north (keep going for awhile) and enjoy Canada for a few weeks. Maybe get a cabin up there.Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459620834878853588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-32946804567422161282009-05-19T05:51:00.000-07:002009-05-19T05:51:00.000-07:00After arriving in your town in August when my son ...After arriving in your town in August when my son went to law school there, I quickly concluded I could never live in a place that hot. Dry heat is a myth; it's just plain HOT! I think if I were you, I would want a cabin in Maine or Colorado or some reasonably temperate place for the summer months. Either that or I would stay indoors with my desert cooler running for 4 months out of the year!<br /><br />I would wish you rain, but then I have seen how the streets there flood because there are no storm sewers. Anyway, here's hoping your new drums fill up somehow!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-73042054711070084182009-05-19T05:20:00.000-07:002009-05-19T05:20:00.000-07:00Are you gathering rain water?Are you gathering rain water?Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076973960956565537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-53845836878314309162009-05-19T00:50:00.000-07:002009-05-19T00:50:00.000-07:00iSympathize.iSympathize.bitchlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038123118551232748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-51896870388933069652009-05-18T21:39:00.000-07:002009-05-18T21:39:00.000-07:00103° is just as hot over here except we call it 39...103° is just as hot over here except we call it 39° Celsius.But it only gets that hot in July, usually. <br /><br />We are having too much rain this spring - the laurel and rosemary, even the bougainvillea are protesting! <br />Would gladly ship you a few gallons but the cost would be prohibitive, for sure.<br /><br />Stay cool - and congrats to the bougainvillea, one of my favorite plants.mar azulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165840869087265205noreply@blogger.com
