Time to burn, let’s Grandi Guava—

More rain, thunder, April adds rain on top of more rain.

The worst storm of the spring was in March, mid-March, that wind. April has been frequent rain, cloud cover, persistent moisture. But also an incredible stream of birds, a panoply. Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, Wood Thrushes, and Tennessee Warblers. The Grosbeaks visit the feeders. The Thrushes and Warblers are unseen but identifiable by sound with the help of the Merlin bird app.

The Grandi Guava has electrified me; got me buzzing. Flavor… menthol, maybe some creaminess, a little fruit. The joint burned clean through without any relighting. It was raining. I was under cover but it’s so damp. A dreary April! Humid. The most humid April I can remember. Dehumidifiers running nonstop. A natural history of the indoors.

I stepped out to take some photos to go along with this post but I went out there and didn’t take any. It’s 14:53. I don’t know when I wrote the first part of this. Three hours ago? At least two hours ago. Which is to say: The Grandi Guava is good fuel. I have been on my feet, working, doing.

I put a clay and rock “plug” in along one spot of our foundation, on the back patio. That was two hours ago. Rain, standing rain, water. It’s an area I’ve been addressing, trying to get to drain better, and not toward the house.

Guava is Gelato pheno #25. I can’t recall seeing Guava as a solo strain. Not like Gelato #33 (aka Larry Bird) or the most common pheno, Gelato #41, sometimes called Bacio Gelato. If you see Gelato on a menu simply called Gelato, it’s probably Gelato #41.

I am at my desk now. I cleaned all of the Gutter Guards of any debris. I’m wondering whether those gutter guards do more harm than good. The heavy downpours run right off, right over them. Not enough water actually seems to be going into the darn gutters.

15:05. The Grandi Guava is a three-hour smoke...
