76F and sunny @ 11:45, heading up to around 84F for the day's high. Low this morning was 45.9F. Still no rain ... :( But some chances starting this coming Monday and running through Saturday. US Drought Monitor release this morning indicates that as of this past Tuesday we have moved from...

Was 80F and sunny @ 12:30, heading up to around 84F for the day's high. Low this morning was 51.9F. Yesterday's high temp hit 86.7F and it was quite warm out in the sun. Thankfully there were some clouds. Not looking quite as good today, much less cloud cover ... presently 16% ... and...

85F and supposedly mostly cloudy @ 13:30 but it sure looked mighty sunny out there to me. That should be the high temp for the day but we will see. Low this morning was 54.4F. Refilled hopper and both tube feeders yesterday, also scattered some seed for the ground feeders. Meds did not get...

Yeah … the soil here is interesting. Two different soil types, running sort of diagonally across the property with the house roughly where the transition is. Might be a little further back. Once you get past the topsoil layer, there is a layer of very fine-grained yellow dirt which I assume...

82F and sunny @ 13:00, heading up to around 85F for the day's high supposedly. Low this morning was 53.5F. On agenda for today (in no particular order): Dole out another week's worth of meds. Refill bird feeders. It's Recycle Week so those will need to go up to the cans at the road along...

Was 77F and sunny @ 12:30, calling for a high of 82F for the day. Low this morning was 48.0F. Ten Day now showing 30% to 40% chance of thunderstorms this coming Saturday/Sunday. Here's hoping ... :rolleyes: Annual rainfall deficit @ CAK now stands @ -5.5" as of the 23:00 local news last night...

70F and sunny @ 11:45, calling for a high of 79F for the day. Low this morning was 44.9F. Looks like a beautiful stretch of weather coming up in the Ten Day, with highs in the low to mid 80's every day. Would be totally awesome ... if it weren't for the fact that we are "abnormally dry" ... :(...

Clearly you’re not growing the varieties of tomatoes your deer prefer … ;) Might I suggest Crimson Cushion, Trip L Crop, and Sunny Boys ? Seriously though, I doubt the sage may be apropos of much. Why yours aren’t getting touched could be for any number of reasons. FWIW, I went out today...

Was 76F and sunny @ 13:00, heading up to around 79F for the day's high. Low this morning was 42.1F. Got suet feeders refilled first thing yesterday. Noticed the carcass at the northwest corner of the garage that was making all the stink when I went out to do that. Looks to be a coon not a...

74F and sunny @ 13:00, calling for a high of 76F for the day. Low this morning was 41.3F. Jacked up Woman's car yesterday first thing to locate source of the transmission fluid leak. Was one of the lines running to the cooler. According to Ford the line is discontinued and NLA. Spoke with the...

72F and partly cloudy, that should be the high for the day. Nearby LWS reports the low this morning was 36.4F ... :oops: Still haven't had any rain since my last post ... :cry: Grass/weeds still growing in places but has slowed way, way down. Likely will not mow again until we get some rain...

75.3F with a mix of sun and clouds @ 13:00. Quite breezy. Calling for a high of around 79F. Low this morning was 51F. 50% chance of showers tomorrow. Got a couple packages of okra sealed up and put in the freezer last night. Deer netting seems to be holding as of this morning. Still no...

Decided to go ahead and drain gas in pressure washer since there was some in it. Went ahead and poured that into the Cub. Ran down and got 4.5 gallons of gas at the corner. Stopped at neighbors on way back to see if he wanted the trimmings from the pine tree. He was happy to take them off my...

72F and cloudy @ 13:45, was only calling for high of 69F for the day so we've beaten that. Low this morning was 61F. Front came through earlier with some rain, did not hear any thunder. Can't tell if the gauge shows anything, nearby LWS shows they only got 0.05" ... bare ground areas still...

76F and sunny @ 11:30, heading up to around 81F for the day's high. Low temp this morning was 48.5F. Got meds doled out first thing yesterday. Refilled hopper feeder, also scattered some seed for the ground feeders. Re-drilled planting hole where the tulip tree was. Took Cub and mowed around...
