June

It's time for JUNE...  a month when I was still hopeful this would be a great summer. Started out Great.   When our Temps rose to the 100+ I kept telling myself, we'll get some rain next week...  we never got any, and towards the end the heat, and lack of water started taking its toll.  In early June, the banana peppers were happy.  I picked and picked, and they were delicious...but there was no break from the heat...and no water...

June claimed some victims.  Most notably, Gaura, Salvia Greggii, and NZ Flax

Towards the end, the previously green grass turned to brown...and more residents were lost
