Another week older, another week spent.

Worst time to move here? Aug-October. Too damn hot. Best time, November. One of the dead months. But it gives you time to find a place and a job before the winter rush. Our spring is your spring. We are in the Northern Hemisphere too.

If our weather has a repeat button I would glue it down. Give me the rest of the season like last week and I am home free. Eight days of solid sunny, hot weather. Next week? More of the same.

It has been a while since we took a look at the gulch girls. Some years everything goes to shit. Some years everyhing turns to gold. I am starting to have high hopes for this year.

Every night I leave the doors open for the mob. We have many flowers that bloom at night, and most of them have an easily identifiable smell. Pikake, Jasmine, Night blooming cirus, roses, tuberoses, I have them all. Last night wife of my youth said she smelled something new . A piney light aroma. Smelled like "buds", her exact words. :wtf:

And that was what is was. Marched her up the hill and asker her if that was what she smelled. Yes, one of the cali girls has gone to full reek. In the mold wars I have been handling her quite a bit. Up close this puppy stinks... in a good way. And our normal nightime downhill wind pushes it into the house.

This is not good. If the wife of my youth can identify the reek of weed, any idiot, up to no good, downwind can. Nearest downhill neighbor is half mile away. I may be over reacting, the plant we are smelling is 30 ft away from the door. But how far will the smell go when all of the girls are going off?

Add one click to my paranoia meter.
