We were hopeful with regard to rain last evening since the sky was menacing, and the wind was ferocious. What we ended up getting may not even qualify as a sprinkle, though the weather did trash the pool.  But since other areas not that far from us had downed power lines, power outtages, and flooded roads, a messy pool isn't that bad by comparison.

Before I went to bed last night my phone locked me out; for some reason it wants a Face ID passcode before it will let me do ANYTHING.  I have no idea what that is (made a couple of guesses, but had no luck) so until Alex returns from his weekend of camping I am SOL.

Did a LOT of hand trimming this morning (lemon and orchid trees in the jungle, olives and lantana out front) and now all three cans are over-flowing. Even though I was (mostly) in the shade, the humidity is a bear and I worked up quite a sweat!  

I kept drinking lots of water,

 and about 10:00 decided to switch gears and get into some!

As long as I was 'in the neighborhood', I did some serious cleaning.
