tarev's blog: Fall-like Tuesday

<p>We are having such an awesome week today weather-wise..for some reason it feels more like Fall than summer in August.  Even the trees are making known how they feel..littering our yard with leaves..if I have not been looking at a calendar, I would think it is Fall. Even the temps have cooled down significantly. Temperature right now at 82F, cool and breezy..fun-tastic garden weather! I like this weather reprieve..gives the plants a chance to recover from the soaring 90's to 100's we have had during June and July.  Though I am still dreaming of some rain..even a drizzle please..but alas, it is summer after all..so that precious liquid is not in the horizon..just same old water from the pipeline is what's available.</p>

<p>Every morning, as I go out to see what's going on in my little garden world, I try to find any new growth or any critters that maybe playing hide and seek from me..maybe more hide, otherwise they get the water squirt from me hah! </p>
<p>And this morning...see which one I found...hiding in between the lavender anouk leaves..</p>

<p>and there it is..little grasshopper..my regular resident..usually by the hymenocallis, and this time cleverly camouflaged by the dried up lavender leaves..talk about good self-preservation skills!</p>

<p>Anyhow..I am feeling good today..will not give him a squirt..letting it pass by me..after all, it also deserves a place under the sun :-)</p>
