Waiting for the cold to hit - there is an Alaska storm headed this way with a freeze warning for Friday and Saturday. That will mainly be inland - here at the coast we should hit the low 40's. Was watching the clouds dancing with the moon tonight and they shifted direction to moving from the north to the south.

Having a cord of wood delivered later this afternoon. Am hoping that a little $ persuasion will entice the wood guy to help me get some of the cord up onto the decks - or at least the bay side deck. Fingers and toes crossed.

Another hot forking day :( Town hit 104 and here it was 98 forking degrees in the shade again. Too forking hot for someone who carries around her own personal summer - I have no need of additional triple digits.

Had an agent from my agent's office call early Friday afternoon and we set an appointment for a showing. They were here for about 15 or 20 minutes - about average I guess. My agent will get with her and get feedback - probably Sunday. Had another agent from a Santa Cruz realtor call Friday night and set up a showing for Saturday early afternoon.

Been watching tv coverage of the Trabing Fire which was allegedly started by an arsonist traveling northbound on Highway 1 between Watsonville and Aptos setting fire to the grasses along side the freeway. Five fires were started and they have merged into one. Homes and other structures have been lost. 2,000 evacuated from the area. The link is to the firemap.

Third forking fire in Santa Cruz County in 2 months. Descriptions of the fire scene on the news included describing the forest as August or September dry and it's just the start of the fire season. Lard love a duck, I do not look forward to this fire season. I've had one fire to the east-south-east (Summit Fire), the southwest (Martin Fire) and now the Trabling Fire also south and east of me.

It is forking dry outside.In 2005/06, we got our average rainfall: 75 inches. 2006/07, we got 29 inches and 2007/08's rain season gave us 38 inches. Sure could use some rain.

104 in town yesterday and we hit 97 in the shade at the little cottage by the creek in the redwoods. Supposed to be even hotter Friday, Saturday, and (oh joy) Sunday and not start to cool off until Monday. Sunday is the Open House. Fork. Too forking hot to clean in the daytime. Had the house all bundled up so it was nice and comfy inside when I got up. After I had been up about 10 minutes, a forking real estate agent showed up at my door (with his client in tow, of course) not having bothered to call for an appointment (as the listing clearly states in addition to the shown by appointment only do not disturb occupant sign hanging from the for sale sign out front) wanting to show the house. After getting 15 minutes, I quickly threw open all the shutters, drapes, and windows, turned on all the lights, made the bed, opened the sliders, lit the candles, got Token and Goldie secured next door, grabbed the garbage and scurried out. Forking lookie loos - not even here 10 minutes and by the time I got everything closed back up again, it was almost 90 inside. I had both fans blowing but it was too late - the hot was inside. Sigh.
