   *Wink* JtR and Kayla I’ll be right over! Pondering, should I bring homemade brownies (w/ frosting) or choco chippers? Your choice…
   PS -Can I jump in the pool?

   The pool might come in handy – should get close to 100 degrees today in Vista (the climatic wonderland – zone 23 in your Sunset guide).

   ZONE 23: Thermal belts of Southern California’s coastal climate

   One of the most favored areas in North America for growing subtropical plants, Zone 23 has always been Southern California’s best zone for avocados. Frosts don’t amount to much here, because 85 percent of the time, Pacific Ocean weather dominates; interior air rules only 15 percent of the time. A notorious portion of this 15 percent consists of those days when hot, dry Santa Ana winds blow. Zone 23 lacks either the summer heat or the winter cold necessary to grow pears, most apples, and most peaches. But it enjoys considerably more heat than Zone 24—enough to put the sweetness in ‘Valencia’ oranges, for example—but not enough for ‘Washington’ naval oranges, which are grown farther inland. Temperatures are mild here, but severe winters descend at times. Average lows range from 43 to 48°F (6 to 9°C), while extreme lows average from 34 to 27°F (1 to –3°C).

   Open house went well – 30+ people, about half and half came from signs vs. internet. No agent showings, but a few sent their buyers which I don’t mind them being out at the pool drinking mai-tais when I’m doing their job.

   If you send your buyers to my open house, I’m going to do my best to talk them into paying full price or higher!
