We've finally passed the halfway mark of summer. Here in the Texas hill country, we'll still be sporting shorts and flip flops through halloween, if not longer. And so I always think of mid August as beginning the downhill slide to temperatures that don't require us to run the air conditioner.
This summer we were blessed with sufficient rainfall to keep our yard from withering and dying by Independence Day. The lone crepe myrtle in our separately fenced side yard has been in bloom for weeks now and I love it. But with no rain recently, I'm afraid all of our flora will be taking a dive. It's so hot this week that even the dogs aren't interested in dashing around outside unless it's early in the morning or late in the evening. Same for me!
