Jacki, that is why your semps are so beautiful. Those cooler temps work well for them (as you know).
Lynn, Yes, its still that hot here. Saturday is supposed to bring a break in the heat, with the highs only getting to about 70 for a few days after the change (20+ degrees in a few hours). I imagine that the hurricane will probably send us a lot of rain, but that will depend on how big the storm remains by the time it gets here and how far out to sea. Our weather is typically dominated by what happens to the west, so it might not be much of an issue. I've been watering the garden for the past two weeks, even giving the semps and jovis some, since we finally dried out. Really weird summer here - hope the winter remains boringly mild.
