Virginia blueflag irises hang on in the drought. We’re trying to sustain herbaceous plants we want to keep, and citrus tree saplings, with weekly hand-watering. Sometimes we miss a week, or miss a plant. Plants can’t move or cry out for water, we have to keep an eye out.

No more freezer meltdowns? Shul kitchen security began taping the doors shut when kitchen is not in use, and installed a freezer door alarm. If a freezer door is left open, even slightly ajar, for 30 seconds, the alarm will begin emitting a beep every 10 seconds. After another minute with no response it will begin with its short little (but repeated and progressively longer) “noytfall” (emergency) siren audios. The effects continue to escalate, so that even kitchen workers engaged in intense conversation will hearken as it approaches Jurassic Park code red stage. What it will not do is shut the door; human intervention is still required.

Tree frog nestles among the trailing stems of the Tradescantia pallida (“Purple heart”, native to Mexico’s Gulf Coast) in the planter by the front door. Julie’s been watering the planters, keeping the environment moist. Seconds after this photo was taken, frog jumped deeper into foliage and disappeared.
