About Me


Mostly sunny with a few brief showers and intermittent clouds. Maximum temperature between dawn and dusk. Sensitive to subtle environmental disruptions caused by unidentified sources but wholly unaffected by earthquakes. Organically grown. Fertile ground for cultivating gardens, but reacts rather negatively to artificial fertilizers.
