Where are we today ?
Just another great day and gonna be a hot one about 91f (33c). So early walkabout shortly after 7 am to the west end of the park. A few crews of workers are busy harvesting broccoli, cabbage and lettuce, three huge fields on the go.
We had contemplated going to the Yuma Air show today, in was close and it was free. But with the temps over 90f no shade, huge crowds expected and high winds, we decided probably better to stay home do laundry and enjoy our books.

They held an air show here today but they were expecting over 100,000 people and there is just no way. It got really windy also. Definitely need to get as much of that produce as you can.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the wind, otherwise , stay home and eat more fresh produce and enjoy our books.
DeleteWe've had quite a bit of wind too. It's gone now and hopefully will stay gone. Your temperatures are a tad too hot for us even with the air conditioning and even with low humidity. I want the perfect temperature but am discovering that's hard to find.
ReplyDeleteWe only turn on our air conditioner after dinner for a bit just to cool things done for bedtime. We spent the days outside in the shade, love it.
DeleteWe're missing those warm temps, so enjoy them for us.
ReplyDeleteWe will for a while longer.
DeleteBest you have your long undies handy for when you cross the border. I just checked the southern Ontario forecast and it still doesn't look good.
ReplyDeleteYeah We check it everyday hoping things will get a bit better. it got a month to shape up.
DeleteIt has been windy....but, happily, when the wind blows and we head into Palm Desert, very little wind finds its way there.
ReplyDeletePalm Desert is pretty protected from the wind.
DeleteThose winds headed right on over to Tucson! Just about blew us away last night!
ReplyDeleteWe missed the strawberries too! Enjoy....
I'm surprised those cool weather veggies do well in the high heat, but they obviously do. Our asparagus should start poking through the ground soon and I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteLove the fresh asparagus we will get our fill here.
DeleteI think we have a huge wind area, the sand is kicking up all along the beach here. Love the heat though, just not the dust.
ReplyDeleteYep we love the heat too, not so dusty here in the park.
DeleteNothing like a little sand with your pork chops, George! I'm sure your wind fence took care of that as the dinner on the Q looked great as usual.
ReplyDeleteWind fence took care of it, and too much sand on the chops.
DeleteThe crop folks sure work hard... back-breaking work! Now you got me wanting asparagus and strawberries....
ReplyDeleteI stocked up on both this morning!
DeleteWind and sand definitely aren't a good mix. It's quite breezy here too!
ReplyDeleteThose are huge fields of broccoli and lettuce which keep lots of people employed.
