Heatwave
A few patches of green and ripening blackberries among the crisped leaves.
Everything is struggling right now. Today the temperature at 4pm was 102F. It was too hot to garden, even as the sun set. At dusk, we traded the heat for mosquitos and West Nile virus.
The flowering cherry burned up -- the Tartarian cherry is beginning to brown -- the leaves of several blueberry bushes look like somebody lit a match under them.
And it's only July 11th ... just wait, Bob says, until September.
