Good morning everyone.
32C at the moment and didnt drop much below that all night.
The garden was surviving after 3 days of over 40C but yesterday was a bit much and now everything is looked very limp & toasty.
Its not that the temps are so high, as I remember years ago , plenty of hot times, but for my little corner its not usual to have such a heatwave.
we do get high temps, but mainly just a day here and there..
Oh well, the plants just have to be like us & grin & bear.
The heat is affecting poor hubby though especially just so soon after his op.

Al, take care through those mountains. I hope you dont get snow as you go.

Lovely plants, coleus, but another that I cannot grow here as most of the year is too cool for them.
The colors are certainly weird & wonderful .

Charleen, I have missed Charley being around the Tea Room door. Maybe he thought I had run out of cookies....lol

He must be looking good after his mud bath. Imagine , some ladies will pay a fortune for the same treatment in some beauty salon..

Hello Anthony. hope its a bit cooler down you way.

Colleen, take care of yourself and dont overdo in the heat.

Teresa, one has to laugh at the comments that come from people ignorant of plants
You would think the first thing to be admired on the coleus would be the beautiful leaves.

Hello Dianne, Chrissy and anyone popping in.

I will leave you with a tasty treat for morning tea.....Orange Date Muffins...

I am off to finish the last bit of watering before the sun gets too toasty on me.

Stay safe
Jean.
