We had a short scare earlier today when a brush fire a few miles north of us burst out. The firefighters came quickly to the scene and by 1:30pm the skies were clear again. The fire was just a few acres off Ramsey road in town.
My oleanders are parched, though. I spent 30 minutes soaking the east-side shrubs. The water quickly trickled into the dry soil without ever pooling as more saturated soil would show. There is life in these shrubs afterall and I see new growth coming, just as I see new growth out of the palm trees. People here are starting to trim their dead shrubs and remove the dead cacti. What remains will most likely fall victim to mold or cactus bugs.
The Princess tree's purple bell blossoms are out. Beans are coming up. Red and Russian Sage in the front yard are coming up.
It hit a record high today, almot approaching 90F with a humidity of 15% at 2pm.
