Summer

I love summer, heat and all! By the end of this week, school will have started here, the Duck Races will be on and the temps will be in the upper 80s or low 90s. That is cool for our summer and just means that Fall cannot be far away.

Our supply of zucchini is endless, lol. No rain from the Monsoon season which appears to be nonexistant this year. If we don't get our southern moisture, then we will have a severe drought. Since we live in the desert, most won't even notice the lack of moisture. What it means for us, is a lot more watering of our trees and plants. Our local farmers use irrigation to keep their crops and pecan groves healthy.

The local merchants have their green chile roasting bins in their parking lots all ready for the demand.

I've had decent rain, although not like most monsoon seasons. It helps that I'm in the mountains, of course.

Oh, it is about chili time, isn't it! YAY! I'm down to my last quart package from last year. Woohoo!
