Some of the days lately have been on the warm side. But I guess I’m one of those persons that doesn’t mind at all. The heat feels good actually. What you rather have…weather like this, or what we had in mid-January? I’ll take hot weather every time. Besides, it doesn’t do any good to complain. I’ve never seen the weather change because it hears people complaining. I have a feeling those same people would find something to find fault with even if the high was 75 and sunny every day, with low-humidity, and a slow drizzle for one hour exactly every night from 2 until 3am to keep things green.
But it’s not only the weather that’s got heat in the forecast. The cayenne peppers in the garden are getting ripe too. Having already plucked a half-dozen ready-ones this morning, I thought some of these peppers still remaining looked like a string of lights that you might find on a Christmas Tree in Chihuahua Mexico.
Last year I had so many of these guys that I couldn’t use them all and dried a bunch of them, later to be ground-up for use in a special-issue batch of barbecue sauce. It turned out to be probably the hottest batch ever, and even more enjoyable because of the home-grown ingredient. I didn’t hear any complaints about the heat from anyone though.
