Ugh, that's terrible, hope it gets better soon.
72°, thunderstorms moved in ½ hr ago, light rain now, not much accumulation so far...
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 70
I hope it is much better tomorrow Victor. Need a nice spiffy pair of safety goggles for father's day I think. Something in a nice blue or restful green so then you can wrestle those shrubs into submission.
78 and cooler than yesterday. Had .07" last night. DD rode the horse home from school today, the seniors got out early.
hope it heals quickly for you Victor
While wearing his orange jump suit. Nice vision. Too bad Victor can't see it.
Seven yards of gravel got delivered this morning for rebuilding the timber walls, so we get better drainage. I am not moving any of it.
Foggy morning. Patti
that is a lot of gravel - sounds like it is more expensive there.
Way more....Steamship charges are over the top. Patti
72°, wind NNW 3.2mphy, Rh 57%, partly sunny
57 ° and overcast/foggy right now. partly cloudy day on tap with highs of 79.
We've had a 'Severe Weather Alert' for almost 5 days now....
"PARTICLE POLLUTION CAUSED BY SMOKE FROM FIRES IN QUEBEC IS
EXPECTED TO REACH UNHEALTHY LEVELS AGAIN TODAY. A POOL OF VERY
HIGH LEVELS OF PARTICLE POLLUTION AND SMOKE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
THROUGH THE STATE FROM WEST TO EAST. AS THE SMOKE MOVES THROUGH
THE STATE PARTICLE POLLUTION LEVELS WILL BE VERY HIGH FOR SEVERAL
HOURS IN THE AREAS NEAR THE POOL OF SMOKE. AFTER THIS POOL OF
SMOKE PASSES THE AIR WILL BE CLEANER FOR 18 TO 24 HOURS. EVERYONE
SHOULD REDUCE THEIR EXERTION LEVEL ESPECIALLY IF THE AIR IS HAZY
OR IF YOU CAN SMELL SMOKE."
This is reeking havoc on my eyes. :(
be careful Celeste
Well just in from checking to see what was what after that nasty storm yesterday afternoon. Had showers and drizzle until around 8pm last night so this morning was the first chance to get a good look. Not too bad really considering how forceful the rain and wind were. The usual suspects were splayed on the ground. 'Blue Hill' salvia which opens up and needs a hair cut eventually anyway will need a trim earlier this year. The peonies that are top heavy to begin with will need trimming too. Just the ones out back though, since they were already full of blooms. Also the rhodo had some branches broken as did the red twig dogwood. Both should have been pruned last year and were on the list of things to do this week anyway so that was done first thing this morning. The rhodo will look a little thin for a while but not bad at all considering. The rest of the garden looks refreshed.The sun has returned and it is a lovely day. The temp is 70 degrees and the wind is calm.
Sounds like a nasty storm, Pat. Sorry you are still suffering, Victor! And Pixie, terrible air quality! It's 70 here, the gardens are perky after the rains, I'm still working on the bathroom....painting today!
Hey all. Better today - at least I can keep the eye open! But still red and sore. Not tearing too much. Thanks for the wishes. I appreciate it.
77 and sunny. 65% humidity.
Glad your eye is better! It is the worst spot to hurt! I splashed straight bleach in mine once! I thought I was going to be blind after, thank goodness it ended up being okay.
84 44% humidity
80 and scattered showers. This keeps up and I'll have to learn to weed in the rain! What ever dent I make has grown back!
It's going to be a HOT one today
70 100% humidity high of 88
Grossly humid out there. 70, with 86%. Overcast.
Sprinkling now at 54 , thunderstorms are expected off and on today with a high of 65.
need to get out there and tie up some delph's and get the lawn mowed before the storms.
67°, wind S 5.1mph, Rh 66%, dense fog
Strong afternoon storms with a high of 82 predicted here.
Sun should eventually burn off overcast and fog. Present temp is 61 degrees and should top out in the mid 80s before the front comes through with t-storms and or showers. Hope this round is a bit gentler than the last batch.
Cloudy & 70....strong T-storms this afternoon. Heading to the dentist.
87 and sunny. 47%. Waiting for some t-storms! Need the rain.
black clouds with thunder just passed by with a sprinkle - need some rain!
Yes, my weather station went 'online' on May 7th. Only had 1.86 inches since.
We had pounding rain, lots of lightning, lost power for over 2 hours.
Wow. What time?
Today my eye finally feels pretty good. Only slightly red and uncomfortable. It was real misery for days. Don't do the same thing!
Wow, sorry, Victor....you really did a job on that eye. We lost our power just before 2, & I actually posted at 4:46. The strike was close, because the flash was blinding when the lights went out.
Thanks, Robin. Glad it is on the mend. I'm hoping for some lightning photos!
Good luck....storms for the next several days.....
currently 70. All the rain stayed south of us today.
Victor - I was holding my breath about your eye as I was reading through this thread over the last few days (been off-com for a bit).....so relieved to read that you are doing better. That is very scary!
We had the pounding rain and even hail for a few minutes today. Very windy and the backyard looked like a small lake for about a half hour. Lots of lightning and thunder too.
Marilyn - lovely pool and cute kids! Nice summer scene!
70 right now and slightly less humidity. Huge bear at our back door last night around 10:00 when Hank went to let the dogs out. This morning I discovered he had broken my feeder at Cuppatea in half. Hank brought the girls into the bedroom with me and ran for the camera, but he was stepping over our patio fence and exiting stage right. Hank said he is the biggest bear he's ever seen. Yikes! Looking around carefully tonight!
