The Yard Today

 Thursday, August 27, 2026

The sunlight hits differently in late August. It's more golden in the late afternoon and early evening.

We need rain as the drought continues. We're letting the grass go dormant however we're still watering the gardens.

Full moon this morning. 

Woke up this morning around 4:00. Not because I wanted to but because I couldn't sleep. Took the above photo of the full moon around 4:30.

Same view out the porch door but without the flash. In the Central Time  Zone the moon is actually full tonight at 11:18 pm.
