I Made It!

Since it's the end of September, I think I can say that I've officially made it through the year without putting in the air conditioner at home. Although we didn't have any record-breaking temperatures this year, we did have more 90+ days than usual. Quite impressive, if you ask me. All that money I saved on electricity - I am betting it's actually more than the extra cost of the water I used to keep my new plantings alive through the drought. Now, if the bonsai tree makes it through the winter (and the rabbits don't eat my poor little bushes), it'll be a pretty successful year for the garden!
