After today's scorcher, a cold front will usher in much cooler weather Tuesday. Highs should be below 80F (first time since June 25th)! The relief is only brief as temperatures will be back into the 90s by Thursday and near 100 for the upcoming weekend.

On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee will vote on four bills that would expand age verification, increase online surveillance, and make it harder to access lawful speech online. Take one minute to tell your senators to vote NO. https://www.acteff.org/campaign/167270/

I came across this fascinating website while reading Marc Stein's City of Sisterly and Brotherly Loves. While this link pertains specifically to the book's contents, there's plenty of other interesting reading as well.

I had a lovely walk last night. This shot really caught my eye. I love simple things. I appreciate this doesn't have the wow factor, slap you in the face impact, but it was a beautiful moment...

Evening all. I'm feeling positively perky compared to when I started this yesterday, but I was too tired to finish it then so...

Just another Apocalyptic Monday. 🌼🌅

Overnight temperatures are warming up across much of the contiguous United States during the month of August. Some of the largest trends are across the West, especially for daytime maximum temperatures (which I will post later).

Peppers and fruit today.

Should probably mention that peppers are collected once a week while the fruit is collected daily. I get around 4-5 pitangatubas, 3-4 acerola, one pitomba, a few jabuticaba and goji a day in case ppl are interested in tropical fruit.

Update: Rubber snakes didn’t work to keep out rabbits. They didn’t seem to recognize them. Got one more week to try out keep them out before fall planting. Sigh.

The (slightly wilted) Garden: “Um, where were you yesterday?” 🫑🥕

I think these two have had a bit of a barney about something. Imagine trying to ignore someone when you're attached to the same stem. Grim.

So I took the bus to Rocky Mountain National Park today. I really felt like I needed an out-of-town summer adventure, and without me needing to drive. It was the first time I used this bus service, and it was awesome! In the park, I did an 8mi/13km loop hike that took me to five different alpine lakes and along some spectacular falls. It was a good day. 🥾🌞

First half of hike: Nymph Lake, Dream Lake, and Emerald Lake (1/3)

"What gift do you bring his #august majesty?" the steward asked.

"A magic trick." Clem turned to the king and held out a die. "See this? Any time it lands, I can tell you what number's face down on the table. Go ahead: try."

The king rolled a 6. "Underneath is a 1," Clem said. And so it was! No matter what number was face up, Clem knew the number underneath.

"Impressive," the king said.

"It's just math," grumbled the steward. Opposite sides always add up to 7."
