Inner whiner? LOL!! Aww … you're forgiven. With the kind of heat you're facing lately, …. let's get to the food already! 😀
I tell you, I'd melt too under that kind of temperature and I should be more tolerant living in our kind of humidity.
You are having lots of fun yourself. I envy you getting to see all this new fangled farms and agricultural technologies. I guess Boulder, Colorado would have to be in my list of “to visit” if I ever make a trip over yonder again ….. which could be soon if my niece decides to get married in spring next year. I'm using your references rather than any Lonely Planet or travel publications. 🙂

Thanks Lea Ann. I was surprised to find the spirit in all of this shine so brightly, even over the heat! Was a good learning and has shed light on alot with regard to the school garden I tend as well as what we can expect for local produce and prices due to the perils of the heat.

Absolutely fabulous write up Toni. And congrats on surviving that heat.
