I don't particularly like strong winds, but sure would like to have that downpour even with lightning. Last rain we had was a month ago, and it doesn't take me long to get enough of this 100+ degree weather, sunshine, and no rain./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Fella from Southern California stopped by my place last weekend to drop something off. Wanted to know if we irrigated our pasture. Seems he wasn't used to seeing things green. And they said that Michigan was in a drought! I guess the only green lawns in S. Cal. are painted!

MikeH,

On local news a couple of nights ago, they had a horticulturalist on that said that our flowers, even for those without a green thumb, would be the best in years since we've had such mild temperatures. Very few days above 90 degrees and just a handful of days above 85 degrees. We recently planted two small trees and about 16 bushes and am grateful for the mild weather since we planted so late! Would like some days into the 90's though, makes the pool more enjoyable! /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

We boys and our toys!

JimBinMI, our temperature is expected to exceed 100 today for the 7th day in a row. Forecasters are guessing that it'll get back down to the normal mid to high 90s though by the weekend./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Can't go another week without rain or the coastal will start turning brown and that will do it for this year! /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Bird, on one of those 100 degree days last week, it clouded up out of no where and rained a whole 0.09 inches. Guess settling the dust is better than nothing.

Wen, I believe it was the day you got the .09" of rain that we heard thunder once, but that was it.

Had to go up to the south edge of Dallas this afternoon and noticed most gas station prices were at $1.499 for regular, and I filled up 20 miles south of Dallas where prices were $1.399. I don't guess I'll ever understand why 20 miles can make a dime difference in price.

Wen, Bird, Your not the only ones. Here in the the Atlanta area we are in the Mid 90's (better than 100's) and 14.5" below normal for rainfall. Water restrictions everywhere around us and outdoor watering bans in some counties. Can't even wash the tractor. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif On the plus side, there hasn't been any mud to get the tractor that dirty.

 

[Bird]

Yeah, I see Dallas and Atlanta both made the national news with their heat.

Maybe we could trade some weather. It's been pretty wet and slightly cooler than average. A front came through today low temps for the next 2 nights mid 40's, tomorrow some sun high mid 60's. Last summer it was really dry and had drought conditions but no were near as bad as the south gets them. They always say for nothern new england "don't like the weather wait a minute."

Hang in there hopefully it will be over soon.
