Hot Day In The Hood

While the official high temperature in Albuquerque was 101ºF (38.3ºC), the temperature in the east side of the building when I left the office was 107ºF (41.7ºC). I stopped by Costco on the way home and parked in the shade under their solar panels. When I got in the car to leave, the temperature still read 107ºF. The temperature did not change until I got home and it went down to 99ºF (37.2ºC).

Black bamboo sprouting in Julie’s Giant Dr. Huey has a Japanese look to it.

Bella Roma Rough Around The Edges

Bella Roma put out a nice bloom that was a little rough around the edges. A Pearl Crescent butterfly was hanging out on a dandelion. A silky cosmos posed in a sea of green, while a peach scarab and bee shared a bloom of a purple butterfly bush. Lastly, a vine dangles in front of a dahlia.
