We REALLY need rain!!!

They are calling for some rain this weekend....but as it stands right now, many farmers are loosing their crops.  My garden is still holding its own.   How is yours doing?  If you are growing potted plants, make sure they get extra water, and perhaps some shade during the peak heat of day.  With temps running as high as 107, every plant is in danger of burning out.  Just look at your lawn! Yuck!!!  At first only the weeds were left green...now they've started turning brown too.
 I have (had) a thermometer on my back deck, and it did the cartoon boil over thing.

Its been a little cooler the last few days, but the weather man says that the heat is on the way back again.  So make sure you put your plants to bed with a cool drink of water.  Us poor bears really suffer in the heat...fur and all....same as your pets!  Please make sure they have plenty of fresh water, and a cool shady place to take a nice summer nap.  Your pal...  Blu Bear
