Heat wave in Escalon

I am so glad I took these pictures in the arbor last week. Yesterday was a record temperature of 111, wow! the chickens, horses, dogs, birds, sheep, cat all needed to be hosed down or sprayed with water. Today is a little cooler, it is 103 right now. The store is pretty quite I think everyone is staying home with their air on. Sounds like a nice plan to me. Hope you enjoy a few pictures of my garden. I can not show you to much because I have been spending to much time at the Pea, and not gardening.



This is my little guy, the plants are starting to take over his space. I told him it will be okay soon, I will get the clippers out and we will fix that problem. All right some hardy Californians just came in out of the heat, back to work for me.

Hi Sandi,
Yes, I totally agree...everyone is staying inside with AC on...which includes me. We've been gone most of the month, so my garden is full of weeds. Your garden looks great!Hopefully, the weather will cool down soon. Mumzie

Love your shop and garden. It has been 103+ here in Northern Calif as well. So off to water my poor veggies, trees, chickens, etc. Wilt is becoming their first name.

I am down here in Riverside...and it has been miserable. We got a bit of a break yesterday..but has been pushing 100 degrees. I just read what Becky said...Wow! Now that's hot. We are not there yet..but I fear it is coming.

I just bought a little girl like your little boy and sat her on a flower pot in my new flower bed. I am planting things around her and hoping she gets the wonderful look your little guy has. Clippers...my favorite tool! :)

It certainly doesn't look that hot in your photos. That is extreme! Keep cool and have a great Wednesday.

Oh gosh that is a hot day! We had a record day this Summer of 117F. here in South Australia. I love the hot weather, but even I did a bit of a melt that day. Hope your garden manages to struggle through OK.
