It's that time of year...time to slide the shade screens into summer position.  When I installed these last year, I thought I would be moving them daily.  Didn't take long to figure out my plants appreciated them full time.  They will probably stay in this position for at least 6 months.  What I really like about this shade cloth is that it is reflective  - bouncing heat up as well as shading.  This is Aluminet I bought from

solar omelette

Morning meet'n'greet with my new filmmaker friend Ian Midgley  http://www.youaregodmovie.com/   He is in SW Texas looking for more folks for his film project.  Hopefully he will be back to shoot a couple of days here next week.  He needs some work footage and I need a spotter - perfect!

Seems we are entering a really good HOT spell out here.  Forecast for over 110 on Saturday and Sunday.  I think the longhorns know it's coming.  They sure seem to know what shade is all about.

Cooked up a bacon(on the bottom), egg and cheese omelette in the solar over this afternoon.  Sliced it all up and added some boiled chard on flour tortillas for dinner burritos.  99,107,65,0,B
