Heatwave

The weather has turned to warm, very warm.  In the morning, the air smell of burning.  If the weather continues like this, it is a matter of weeks before the haze returns.  The grass patches are turning orange and gold.  Trees are showing heat stress by shedding leaves.  Rain comes but in small quantities.  My pond refuses to grow with the pathetic rainfall.  I need to top up with tap water.  It is start of uncomfortable heat season.
