Can't believe my luck, just got back inside after sitting in the sun
most of
the afternoon (still in holiday mode!) surrounded by Hedychiums,
Cannas,
Tibouchinas, and Cassia corymbosa. It was like being back on holiday
and
nearly as warm.

It reached 30 degrees here today and it's still only Spring. This is
the first year that I can remember the ground being so dry that the
deciduous trees need watering before they've even burst into leaf.

If I hear one more American politician deny that Global warming is in
full swing, I think I'll scream.
