Scenes from the way home on a foggy San Francisco summer night. The bougainvillea is growing beautifully, hopefully we don’t have to use that fire escape.

Front porch of an apartment building with an arch leading inside building is a brownish orange and there is a bright pink bougainvillea plant to the right.

This summer brought an abundance of butterflies and birds. Nature is ready to spring back – if we let it | Patrick Barkham theguardian.com/commentisfree/

An abundance of butterflies and birds arrived this summer: nature is ready to spring back – if we let it
The recent hopeful surge of some wildlife isn’t down to us. But in an era of climatic decline, it shows the resilience of our fellow species, says Guardian nature writer Patrick Barkham

In a bit of hopeful news, I am pleased to announce to report that The Guardian knows how to write a headline

If the painted alliums in Minn's Garden behind the Plant Science Building aren't famous, they should be -- hopefully tomorrow I'll have some shots for you that I took in parts of Monkey Run you have to wade to reach

Two soft-focused flower clusters right of center are red and white and have a background of green, white and yellow speckles.

the City just put in Stage 1 restrictions (we're very lucky here that we have abundant water resources, many places on Vancouver Island have restrictions almost immediately every summer)
So the clock is ticking! If we get to Stage 2 and I haven't filled the pond yet, I'll be prohibited from doing so until the rains come! We can only "top up" pools and ponds in Stage 2. And (god forbid) we get into Stage 3 or 4, the pond will have to be left to dry up. (at which point I would probably just use it as a watering source for the gardens)
I don't think we've ever reached Stage 3. The last time we got to Stage 2 was about 5 years ago I think, after the Heat Dome.
I would be surprised if we got to Stage 2 this year. It has been dry, but not excessively hot, so hopefully our resources can hold through August.
The good news is... I'm close to at least filling the intake bay and wetland filter.
Once the rest of the rock/pebble comes tomorrow I'll immediately start moving the rock into those two holes as quickly as I can, and once done, I'll start filling them with water so I can test out the pumps.
I might set up a temporary path for the water to recirculate through the intake bay and filter, avoiding the pond. That way those two parts can start to grow good-bacteria for the filter while I work on the big pond.
