Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 81 and low of 64 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Light drizzle during the morning, patchy rain nearby in the afternoon, clear in the evening, mist overnight.

Great topic! I'd love to see more from the environmental action committee on encouraging less use of pesticides/weed killers/fertilizers in town.
what a great way to encourage people to plant native, it gives me so much pleasure to see who is visiting my plants.
