In fact it has been a quite hot last few days. However morning air is getting crispy and evening is very comfortable. The afternoon temperature goes up more than mid 80 degree F but humidity is less than 40%, dry air, blue sky to holizon this is where I live at the moments.

Here in San Francisco Bay Area has still been quite hot, so it doesn’t feel like cooler and colorful autumn season yet. We have not had rain for a long time. It has been very dangerously dry everywhere. As you and everyone may know we had many serious wild fires only until a week ago. It is OK at moments but it’s not end yet. Those big fires were not really near to Bay Area but we had pink and dark orange sky, ash were coming down from the sky for a few days. It was a bit scary days that it reminded me the fall of Pompeii, the town was buri...

The temperature has been up like summer time that in the mid-afternoon air is “heat” rather than warm spring one.

It was total surprise to me because the tree was looked healthy many years but dying so quickly. I really did not know why. I always need lemon in my kitchen, not only for dessert but also for salad dressing, seafood and drinks. Since then I have been thinking of getting a new lemon tree but fortunately my neighbor has one, just next door to over my backyard’s retaining wall. So I can reach to pick a few whenever I need to. It seems my neighbor never use them. So their tree looks wil...
