Today's weather continues!
The wet start to our week here in the Northeast has finally given way to sunshine today,
- but it would be a good idea to keep your umbrellas handy... (just in case ☺).
64° here in the middle of Long Island, NY, wind 0.0 mph, H 89%, with clear skies overhead.
On the way to 84°, with light SE winds. Dropping down to 66° tonight with increasing clouds.
Good morning, everyone.
It is a beautifully sunny morning in WNY. Currently 64 degrees heading up to the low 80's. I will arrange to have this weather come east soon.
Have a blessed and wonderful Wednesday, friends.

It is a lovely morning....the town crew stopped at around 8 this morning to move my mailbox.....the town will be backfilling the area between fence & curb....I'll have to move a zillion plants! Oh, well, all the DLs have bloomed...of course, the sedum is just starting.....
Thanks, Dave. It's already arrived here. Sunny, lovely at 74 - even nicer in the shade.
I hope that you won't lose any plants, RD.
72° here & sunny.
Beautiful sunny day. Low 70's. I'll take it.
Nice pic WC, wish I was there.
gone up to 82° Not bad except having to work in the sun.
Thanks Candy, (- it's real nice down here, ☺!)
81° and dropping.
Thanks, Lucy....don't know how I'm going to dig the huge clumps of Montauk daisies!
Oh, my husband dug up the Montauk daisies that were swallowing the azalea bush. Now they're swallowing my mail box. I wonder if they'll come back next year after the snow and salt treatment. A small bunch went elsewhere just in case. I had no idea what monsters they were when I planted them.
ok What is a Montauk daisy?

Every year they claim more and more garden real estate. For years I kept clipping it back until I finally deleted it.
Darn things don't spread normally, this spring they spread up to 6' from where I planted them,
... like paratroopers! They jump all over the place!
77°
Yeah, same here--mine produced lots of seedlings that I captured today. I thought I was being smart by burying it in a large pot. Still, it's hard to beat the look of these daisies in the fall.
ok who is digging me some next year???
:)
Allison - one pot of them will eat up a 9' circle in quick time. Nurseries should be almost giving them away in late October or early November.
wow really... I planted some a friend gave me... they died.. LOL
That just might be a first, Allison. It's one strong plant.
but in there defense.. she gave them to me as a halloween present .. maybe they didn't have enough time to take
Could be. They are very pretty flowers (and nice foliage) but they last for about two weeks. Then there are the other 50 weeks...
BEAUTIFUL day, went down the shore...new beach my sil suggested...it was great....not crowded at all
High was 88°
64 now going to 87 ... more thunderstorms
It's a cool 57 , sun is out burning off the fog. Mix of sun and clouds today with a high of 83.
63° & going to be clear. Predicted to go up to the high 80s.
71°, light breeze from the SW @ 5 mph, H 89%, partly cloudy
Going up to 84°, possibility of thunderstorms this afternoon, winds doubling.
Dropping down to 68° tonight, with spotty T-storms.
Good morning.
Partly sunny and 64 degrees in WNY. Going up to 84 with t-storms this afternoon.
Have a blessed and thankful Thursday, friends. ☺

Too late to save any Montauk daisy seedlings from my yard this year. Does anyone ever have an August or fall RU? This is the time of the year when they are a couple of inches tall.
Sunny, warm, humid....but I'm not complaining! My Montauk daisies are by the side of the road....never have any seedlings, & they stay in bounds......you can have one of mine, Allison!
I'll happily share Montauk Daisy in the spring. I think they make a pleasant backdrop to other shorter items. They have a nice rich green and they are dense. Anyway, it's nice to hear that they survive a road side planting.
Guess what it's doing outside. I look back at my prediction this spring that we were going to have a wet season and a dry season every year, with mid-July to mid-August the dry season. Well, I was certainly wrong. Each year is a new adventure.
66 and sunny, actually gorgeous out right now
just back from 18 holes
.15" of rain this morn
69% humidity and the sun is currently out 81°
Apparently a heavy shower here while I was our with Mom....came home to huge puddles....
Beautiful warm day of 82 here, slight SSW breeze.....nice end of summer day.
Cattails and Liatris
DH hovers over his liatrus here. 84° & uncomfortable for me to work. DH planted the new dwarf irises this morning.
Thundering in the distance...let's see if we get this one or it goes around us
It poured
I'm watering my garden.
thanks!!!
Still 84° There is something about watering the garden which brings rain.
