Another day in Paradise.... [View all]

Full sun at dawn, starting heating up @ 10AM....up to 95 degrees by 3PM....then the thunderboomers moved in and it rained torrentially for about 45 minutes. Garden watered! Temps dropped 20 degrees and maintained thru 8:30.

Took this @ 8PM....



Things of note-

* Wine by Black Box
* Deck will be getting painted in July.....hasn't been touched since 2002. It's all pressure treated and in good shape.
* Railing is cedar and it is punked. Planning on removing and replacing with PT wood and bronze anodized aluminum tubes.
* Growing some world-class grass in the planter. Should reach out to the UMaine Ag Extension and see if they want the seeds.
* Have reached peek growth - I expect things to slow down going into July.
