Water is Life

There's nothing quite like a heatwave to remind a person that water is life. Leonardo da Vinci said it best: "Water is the driving force of all nature."

For the past three days, our high temps have run at or near the century mark, meaning we've spent just about all our spare time dumping and re-filling stock tanks, hosing horses down, wetting hay and feed, or watering plants.

Amazingly, the potted plants on the deck, like this Geranium, have held up quite well.

 
Thankfully, a cool breeze blew in off the ocean this evening. The forecast for tomorrow calls for a high in the mid-eighties, which should feel downright chilly!
