Waiting for rain

It's that kind of day.It's been so hot, for so long.  Everything is parched, tired, thirsty.  Fire risk is high.Every day I haul water to keep the greenhouse and garden residents alive.My broccoli is thriving!  A surprise.  Cabbages utterly failed last year, so I thought cruciferae didn't agree with my garden.Also I have 5 asparagi! (yeah yeah, asparguses).  Asparagus is the first thing we ever planted, our first month here, but that attempt didn't take.  The asparaguys wanted a more prepared bed.  Now they seem happy.A honeybee working a blackberry cane by the well.We're standing on a pile of sticks. What's it to ya?I found this enormous spider.She was bigger than my cell phone is wide.Everywhere, snakes.  Snakes like it hot.
