I envy your winter; we're set for a heat wave: https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l...470ce44ebd8182

It looks bad, specially as the grades are in Fº. A German digital friend told me they had 32ºC there yesterday.
But the heat wave is bound to come soon. Probably in spring as the coldest month this year here was May.

Of Summer and Winter?
Yes, prolly climate changes... 32º C / 89.6º F is warm enough for me... 'tis 78º F at 5:00 am indoors with the window open just now.

Thanks for your kind words, Tailor! It´s not quite sure if anything is going to happen today, St Peter sent rain, which is fine. Hope your wife is well under shelter, they are no joke this tornados.
Enjoyed the poem but not the temperature!
Rainy Celebrations (damaged haiku)
A rare rain shrouds
the so active city.
Melancholy!
No tornados (thank heavens)... just an 80 mile/129 km long (on some reports) curtain of dust/sand storm generating its own lightning... wish I'd seen it :)
Pondered your poem after reading prognostications for your holiday earlier today...

We're still safe with an evacuation warning... people have started to go to their homes as mandatory evacuations are being lifted here and there. Rain in the forecast :)

Why is it called Mosquito fire?
Water against fire
Devastating flames!
Rain cures the open wounds
of the soil. New life!
Mosquito fire:... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_FireQuote:
The fire began at approximately 6:27 PM PDT on September 6, 2022, near Mosquito Ridge Road (for which it was named), above Oxbow Reservoir in the Middle Fork American River drainage on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.
Love the optimism of new life !

Thanks for the link, tailor. Sadly the wet areas have been turned into dry areas in the last years with fires raging like in California. The difference is, that most of these areas seem to be inhabited by wildlife and birds but hardly by men. This video was shot in 2012. Things have gone much worde since then:

Maybe they have less food choices, what with fires and other accidents that devastate the plants.
Bumble, bumble bee,
what kind of flower dishes
Nature has for thee?
:) Soon there will be fewer choices for the bees (sigh).
a pity the plant is so invasive & harmful otherwise
