Morning Watering

This morning, I took some time to water my freshly planted garden.It's hard for me to find time in my mornings sometimes, but I'm especially determined to make this garden grow and flourish.

It's hot in Indiana for May. Near record high temperatures. It's 83 degrees outside right now, and will probably get hotter before the days end. Like most of the midwest and south, we've had an unusually wet spring. Around here, though, we experience flash flooding, not steady rainfall. The ground is drying quickly.

In our household, we make the effort to only use the air-conditioner in the months of June, July, August, and September (and only on truly hot days during those months). It's rough sleeping at night right now. We have to keep out windows closed at night. It's a loud side of town, and while I feel pretty safe, I would prefer to limit access by potential home invaders.
