@Satori@mastodon.thirring.org Just finished deadheading so it's looking a bit empty, but lots of buds about to pop. We're in this horrible drought and heatwave, so it's a challenge to keep flowers and veg happy. Lake water, no restrictions, but we don't water the grass, which is mainly clover so resilient.

@Byronrabbit@mastodon.thirring.org Oh gosh, not still on the drought and heatwave! That’s really tough.

We’ve had a strange summer here. It’s been a very unsettled pattern- we haven’t had the heat we usually get, at the most two days in a row 25-27C and rain.. and we’ve been so humid! Gone are the dry summers. Mornings and evenings often feel like fall.

(I'm about 800 km southeast of where Satori is for those who don't know)

It definitely does feel a lot different this year. We had some really hot weather in the spring, and we've had a few brief runs of 35C weather since, but in general it's been much cooler than the last 5 years. We've also had far more rain than we have over that period.

I can't tell if this year is actually an outlier, or is just normal that feels weird because the last few years have been hot and dry - actual drought conditions.

The prairies are a weird and wonderful place.
