July begins with stifling heat and the continuation of a 2+ week-long drought.
For CG, seeing just a single plant blooming under these conditions is a botanical blessing.
Surprisingly, only one newly-planted forsythia off-shoot has transcended.
The next chance for rain is Saturday. CG will be doing all he can to get at least an inch of rainfall:
- Leaving lawnmower outside of the shed
- Car windows down (after washing it)
- Rigging a clothesline in the yard and hanging laundry to dry
- Preparing breakfast outside with the electric toaster
