Arizona Weather is Bi-polar

My grand daughter says Arizona weather is bi-polar. We’ve had a couple weeks of 108-112 temps. And no real rain for months. Today at 2:30 it was 105. At 3:30 the temp dropped to 72 and the skies opened up. Got .7” of rain in about 30 minutes. 

The creek ran a little bit for the first time since last winter. 

The did a number on the shade canopy but it wasn’t too bad. We were able to knock the water off and get it folded up in case it rained more. 

Today we took the kittens outside to play for the first time. 

Then I tackled the light set up. While the bird netting has kept the cats out of it, the mesh doesn’t stop bugs or mice from eating the seedlings. 

I had some old window screens with metal screen that I picked up off the side of the road. I took the screen off and zip tied it to the shelves. 

I’m trying to get it as tight as I can to keep the mice out. 

It took forever to get all the wires tidied up.  And then I ran out of zip ties.

Today I appreciate the rain and the cooler afternoon.
