....at 6:00 PM, when I finally dragged myself out from behind the fan to do some needed transplantation; sweat running down mon visage. Got too dark to finish; out this morning at 6:00 a.m. to get them in the ground and hope they'll will be OK. Sun doesn't hit that area until afternoon..

After [censored] years in this mild, Mediterranean climate, with maybe a brief "hot spell" in August, we are having killer heat and humidity weeks at a time. (But of course global warming is a hoax...)

If it's bad here, I can imagine what David Ross, on the other side of the mountain, must be going through. Unless he has AC, which many homes in the San Fernando Valley and inland So. Calif must have.

Don't want to think of the next water bill...

And maybe have to pull up every water-needing plant to deal w/Calif drought..
Some houses in the neighborhood are way ahead of me; years ago they took advantage of City's subsidy for switching to xeriscaping.

Sigh!
