Hot days and balmy evenings
We've had an early heat wave approach this spring. Those of you in the Southwest desert will think me daft for blogging about temperatures in the mid-to-high 80s, but that's quite warm for us this time of year. The good news is that it rarely lasts. We'll be back to our cool, morning marine layer and milder temps in a few days' time. We don't do a lot of "porch sitting" here on the Central Coast in the spring and summer months, because our evening temperatures tend to drop off rather sharply. But we're blessed with moderation on the higher temperatures, so we like that part.
I think the heat may have stressed some or other equipment in our power grid, because we had a brief outage earlier today. I'm headed off this evening to put a wee bit of extra water on our thirsty potted plants. One nice thing is that our few tomato plants love heat, so we're hoping this gets them off to a great start.
