Windy most of last week before calming down to end the week. High temperatures ranged from the upper 60's to low 70's the first half of the week before warming into the upper 70's to end the week. The high of the week was 79° on Saturday. Lows ranged from the upper 30's to mid 40's. The low of the week was 38° on Tuesday. It was a dry week with no precipitation falling. No change in plant life in the surrounding wildland areas. The garden is starting to look very summer-like with lots of green growth. Roses have started to bloom as well as several other plants. Saw a garter snake in the lawn and a robin visiting the bird bath. This is in addition to many other birds visiting the garden and bird bath.
