Today in Palmdale we will have a mix of Sun & Clouds with a slight chance for a stray thunderstorm. Least wise, we can hope for a stray thunderstorm, as we are once again in a deep drought. Our High will reach 85F while our Low will go down into the mid 50'sF Nice mild weather, although a little warm for a November day. Our relative humidity is 100% and our dew point is at 61F, so we could get a little water on our way up to 80F. The barometer stands at 30.01 and is for the most part steady. Our sunrise will come at 6:45 AM and our sunset will occur at 5:31PM.

Above are the last photos of our Newtowne Neck sunrise. We will see this again in December, if all goes as planned. I shot a photo of this string of geese coming in off of the Island. They flew straight overhead as they made their way up St.Clements bay. We will all head south together, I guess.

Sherry's pineapple is developing nicely. I hope we are able to get at it before the coons do. The papaya's also are making. Again, I need only to keep the varmints off of them to have good table fruit this winter. The younger citrus are not making much, but the established Valencia's and the wild sweet oranges are making a good crop of it. The grandkids will have plenty to pick and juice once they get down at Easter, if the fruit holds long enough. We have some "secrete" orange trees at an abandon homestead in the scrub that we will check on our walk this week. Naval's that are sweet and fat for getting little or no attention over the last decade. Amazing that, I moodle-coodle my citrus, and am always loosing one to this thing or that, while an established tree, out in the scurb, with no human to care for it thrives. Mother Nature is a wondrous woman.

It is time to get it, as the light is beginning to show. I am so looking forward to the start of my day.
