So, my orange is completely gone. I don't know if an animal took it to eat it, or if it just deteriorated to the point where there is nothing left, but... yeah. My apple, though, is still there. It's soggy with some white spots on it. Frankly I was afraid to touch it or smell it, otherwise I would tell you that too. Sorry.

It's finally cooling off, it was a hot week, this past week, dry too.  The ground is doing surprisingly well though, still holding a bit of it's moisture.

Those wildflowers I've shown you are almost completely gone now and the new species isn't quite ready to bloom. Maybe next week.
