It rained today, for the first time in months (seriously, it has been about two months since rain - the past nine months have been the driest ever on record here, and the third hottest ever).
The yard is dead
but with watering we're still managing to get some things from the garden. Tomatoes, tomatillos, and herbs mostly,
other stuff pretty much just baked away. Nyle likes to help water, though the word "help" can be taken loosely since he doesn't stay like this for very long - he likes to harvest, in the same ways squirrels harvest, by taking a bite out of everything he picks.
We're trying hard to keep the trees alive too. The bananas seem surprisingly happy given the situation.
Apparently, Nyle also likes to pose,
as you can see from these last two shots.
