Thursday

I ran over the hill to Contra Loma today, and it was much nicer than last week. I didn't go real early, but it was only about 80 degrees... warm enough to be sure, but definitely not sweltering. Did about seven miles and survived just fine. :) It's supposed to be only 95 today... and maybe only up to 89 by Saturday. We'll see.

My sod is sort of surviving the heat, but about 1/3 of the patch looks dry no matter how much I water it. Hope it lives. Again... we'll see.

The beans in the garden aren't producing much... in fact I don't think the pole beans have had a single bean. The yellow squash is doing so-so, however, the zuccini and tomatoes are doing great. Not many things better than fresh vine-ripened tomatoes.

Tonight we're driving over to the Tri-Valley church in Livermore to catch Won By One in concert. They've had a long tour... clear back to the east coast this summer... and tonight is one of their final stops. We always love hearing them live.
