We're right in the heat of things for sure. Triple digits for just about the entire month until today when it dropped down into the nineties. It's 94°F right now, ten degrees less than it was yesterday at this time so I'm very thankful. Whew, I hope it stays below 100°.
The tomatoes slowed down, of course and most are finished for the season. Although, all of the Italian varieties have continued to produce: Crovarese Grape, Rosso Sicilian and Principe Borghese. Yay! Still making slow roasted herb tomatoes. They're so delicious when you cook them long enough to caramelize a little.
Summer Garden Panzanella ~ another favorite:
Green Zebra tomatoes about to become salsa.
There's been no shortage of tomato hornworms either. This one was parasitized by tachinid fly.
There are less hummingbirds this year, but still a large number and I've had to put all eight of the feeders out. I'm probably going to get a couple more just in case the numbers increase. As they begin to migrate, there can be huge numbers passing through. I'll take pictures. 
The birdies have been enjoying the birdbath in this heat. Lot's of bluebirds!
