This rainless week saw a mix of brilliant sunny days (deep blue skies with lovely puffy fair weather clouds) and foggy cool days. Temperatures remain mild. Heavy dew for a couple of mornings helped keep the landscape moist, but the ground continues to dry as water levels drop. The decent rain season means that we are not facing water restrictions this dry season--always a relief. Our summer blooming shrubs and plants are showing their colors and we've had the first harvest of our blue berries and huckleberries. It's really been a lovely summer so far, and the tourists are showing up to enjoy it.
