105°F in Santa Rosa, 107°F here. Opened up the house last night to cool
off. The outside temp went to 53°F, the house to 70°F.

The paper says it will be 99°F today, Accuweather.com says 92°F.

The heat didn't seem so bad yesterday, but I'm feeling a little stunned
today. The tomatoes enjoyed the heat. You could almost watch them redden.

Chance of showers on Sunday, go figure.

Hi Billy
I am going to answer all other posts here at once.

Thanks for correcting the Chaffin farm website to
www.chaffinfamilyorchards.com/
It is a great place; I went on a tour of their farm this Spring.( It
was COLD then.)
They do CSA and the local farmers markets. Their fruits are all
wonderful and
they always sell out.

I have to get all my outside work done early also. Temp got to 102
yesterday.
Today it is 96 at 1pm. I had to quit at 10am. Nights have been a
cool 55-60.
You asked about Lake Oroville. No we don't go there much; it is mainly
a boater's
lake. It's not very cool there unless you are out on the water, and
it's not a very
pretty lake. We do like Black Butte Lake, to the west. It's like
going back to
early Calif. of about 200 years ago. Also we go up to the mountains.
This evening
we will take a supper and go up to Butte Meadows by the creek.

Garden continues even in the heat. I kind of neglected the zuch, and
found 2
this am about 24 inches long, 14 inches around at the blossom end and
weigh
about 10 lbs each! The peaches have been wonderful, but I picked the
last
this am.. Figs are still good. Tomatoes took a little break for about
a week, but
I had a ripe one in a sandwich today, so they are back.. Super Sweet
cherry
continues even thru the heat.

You keep cool also
