In the early morning light, I stepped outside to water the Lantanas and the Sago Palms before the heat of the day sets in today. I fed the sagos some Moon Juice fertiliser two days ago and have been adding more water to them lately, I hope they will pull through the extra hot summer we have this year, wow! Today we should see 113 degrees.
Tomorrow and through Wednesday, we will see 113 and 114 degrees according to the National Weather Service. Is it any wonder that my Ash tree gave up and threw in the towel recently? The tree company brought their Stihl chainsaw… Fingers crossed that my old air conditioning system will get through this summer once again, a costly replacement!
Did you lie down on your back to get that palm tree? That is an amazing shot! 🙂

Hi Lisa, I actually just put the Nikon directly against the trunk and took the photo. Another lucky photo apparently! And thanks!

It’s hard to kill a lantana. I have one that I have transplanted twice in the rocky soil and it seems pretty happy.

Hi Jason, I agree. My neighbor has two along the sidewalk that until recently didn’t get any water at all. A bit of water with a new drip system her hubby installed, boom! They sprang right back and flourished.

Ummm, Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels, Scorpions, Snakes, insects, Desert Tortoises… And humans with careful preparation. It’s brutal heat, Anneli. These homes are designed for this climate, they do very well. Stay cool up there!! 😊🇨🇦
