Is this crazy Austin weather, or should we consider this the new norm? That is anybody’s guess. But we are still in a heat wave. Today, Sat. Aug 17, 2019 is set to be the 26th day this season with 100+ degree weather. Kind of warm, what can I say.
One nice thing about the design of this new house is that we have a patio that is only open to sun on one side. In our case that means that it is in shade all the time. I don’t know how that will be in the winter time, but right now that means you can sit outside and still be in shade all day. It also means we can give the dogs a place to stay outside in the shade all day long. Yes, we keep a large gravity feed water bottle outside for the dogs so they always have fresh water.
The other nice thing about this patio area is it has steps down to the grass. Not many steps, just a couple. But the landing area and steps area means we actually have a small area that gets shade in the afternoon. The only other areas that get any shade are close to the wood fencing on the sides. I’ve used this area next to the landing to place my felt planting pots. If you saw the previous post you would have seen the area I’m talking about.
This area gets just enough shade that the plants in the pots are actually coming up. My peas, beets, and lettuce have all sprouted. I have to keep them well watered, but so far they are still alive and growing. In this weather I consider that an accomplishment.
Hopefully the weather service will be correct and we will get some relief from this heat later this month. But who knows if that will happen, and how much heat relief we will get.
Its Texas, just wait and see.

Hi there! I simply wish to give you a huge thumbs up for your great information you’ve got right here on this post.
I will be returning to your blog for more soon.
Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working
with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but
I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your
layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
This site is on WordPress. Warning, I have had it hacked, but today being what it is, even changing passwords frequently hasn’t helped that issue. But as for the theme, you have to look through a lot of them to find one that works for you. I prefer free, but I will pay for one that really works for me. Good luck.
You are so cool! I don’t suppose I’ve truly read through anything
like that before. So great to discover another person with a few unique thoughts
on this topic. Really.. thank you for starting this up.
This web site is one thing that is needed on the web, someone with some originality!
Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
YES, hackers are a problem. I have lost all my data a few times due to someone hacking and erasing all the data. Backup backup backup!! Use a program, service, something that will do it for you automatically, or set yourself a schedule so you backup everything. But remember to backup and make sure you keep a copy of that backup on your own computer, not just on someone else’s server.
Hi there! I realize this is kind of off-topic but
I had to ask. Does operating a well-established blog such as yours require a massive amount work?
I’m brand new to blogging but I do write in my journal daily.
I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
Thankyou!
It takes work. You have to really enjoy your topic, and be willing to continually work on it. Even if you only add information weekly or monthly, you need to maintain your website. And remember, whatever you put out there everyone can see. So think about what you want to put out there. Don’t make the information too personal unless you are really comfortable with it being out there. Remember not everyone is a good person, some people will want to take advantage of what you put out there.
