Thirty-eight degrees in the yard at four o'clock. The leaves on the tomatoes fold in the afternoon like hands. The water turn came at night, I stood with a torch and a shovel and thought of Grandfather. The ditch smelled of mint and mud.
I have no solution, only an observation: the plants do not complain. See Water turns.
