Marine pushing

It was a weather condition, not an assault on military folks; a big swoosh of air came onshore yesterday evening, cooling us from 90 plus to somewhere in the sixties, F. It made for a nice sleeping climate, and a wonderful day today.
So hot this past week, the yellow wax bush beans sprouted in a matter of days. The corn is as high as a squirrel's eye, and the potato plants look positively tropical.
Research in the neighborhood uncovered another produce of homemade ice cream, the patisserie; just had to sample his espresso flavor, which was a delightful form of delivery of the afternoon cuppa that I probably shouldn't have. It fueled a burst of weeding, so it was worth it.

Just catching up here. I read about your heatwave in the online news. That must have felt good to have a few days of really hot weather. It's also always good to see it get pushed out by that very welcomed marine push. We had one of the foggiest Mays I've ever experienced. It was wild. Our tomatoes looked like they wanted to retreat back to seed and wait for the real summer to come back. Interesting times.

The heat was swell; everything's sprouting up like mad!
So refreshing today to have a breeze, too.
