We've had very few storms this monsoon season. I did get a nice batch of rain this morning. My plants have just been burning up even with hand watering. My icon's agave still looks fine, but much different from the cheerful springtime plant in the picture. Hopefully, I'll have the funds to do some replanting this fall for the one's that didn't/won't make it.

To ann1962: I didn't want to mess up your beautiful memory by replying in your journal last night, but... My poor high school girlfriend was not so lucky. Her mother had no idea what might look good on the daughter. Mom picked things mom might look good in, and got her daughter hair styles that matched hers. Poor kid just looked awful her Freshman year. There after the daughter took charge of buying her own clothes and deciding what her hair should look like. The change was almost unbelievable.

LOL I would have bought her the ugliest dress if that was the one she had wanted. She had picked out one or two of those. Luckily, she has good taste.

But then, I'm the one that told my kids I'd give them a mohawk if that was what they wanted. I will not argue about clothes or hair. I save argument/discussion/whatever to call it for the important stuff (like permanent stuff like piercings or tattoos..) like values and life choices.
