This is a world of extremes.
Here it is sun or rain - - seldom much in between. Fortunately Hot without the cold.
Things grow or they don't - especially the things you are trying to grow - the scrawny sage and rosemary is struggling not be join the previous 4 attempts in plant heaven. Meanwhile the little hot pepper plant we grew from seeds - it is taking over the herb garden and turning into a tree.
The peppers are REALLY HOT and we are overrun with them - time to start a hot sauce business.
Then there are the mundane things - electricity - you have it or you don't - like the water!
Or the printer - - it prints wonderfully, but the scanner has decided it is on strike - the microwave works, but the exhaust fan is exhausted.
Lisle is busily painting the exterior lights that were once black and are now white - bleached by the sun/salt.
Fortunately no surprises that we can't handle.
We have the hot pepper plants also. They come up spontaneously. The seeds are dropped by birds that eat the peppers ... and I've seen our rufous-naped wrens chowing down on those hot peppers with no problem. Parrots also like them.
