Today it was 109 degrees

Tomorrow it will be 113 degrees. The grass is bright yellow and in some places turning a pale cream color normally only seen in the last month of winter. The leaves are falling off of the trees like it is October and not the first days of August. Today I saw our first fire of the drought over near I-240 and Anderson Road.

Many plants that are watered are still baking in this relentless heat. Some local wildflowers are still managing to bloom. Most are or look like some sort of Sunflower.
