Weather In Your Garden # 104

Good morning. Sky was red this morning. 68 and very humid. Soon will be light enough to go clear out the yard before the rain gets here. Everyone take care.

Randy and I just had breakfast.. and going out to clear everything out after coffee

Just a few remaining items to put away so they don't fly with Irene.

Be safe, everyone.

best of luck to all

Praying for all of you in the path of the storm. May you stay safe. Hoping it will change direction and head out to sea before it hits land.

Cant sleep anymore.. must be my little subconscious dude inside me jumping up and down shouting "Oh no! help! help! Go away!!", Ugh...


74°, wind 0.0, H 90, Baro 29.88─, cloudy

Going up to 76° today with rain, winds picking up as the day goes on,
Dropping to 71° tonight as the outer bands of Hurricane Irene approach.

* I can officially verify that the phrase 'The Quiet Before The Storm', is true
..not a leaf is moving out there, a very gray, still morning here.

yes it is quiet even here which is quite a ways away from NC. 66°. DH remembered to take the a/c out of the window in the room behind the garage. We only have it in that one & he was watching the news on TV.

Very still here, quiet, humid air, dark clouds. Have to plant or move tons of pots today. The prediction of 80 mph winds in Boston is for tomorrow.

The pots and container plants ended up being an issue here. Now the garage is loaded with plants sitting on top of saw horses covered with plywood and plants fill the garage floor. One more hanging plant to get inside. I don't want it to become a flying plant.

To make mine worse, I want to put a car in the garage. That means the bags of soil mendments have to go into the ground. I wonder if they'll decide to pour the marble chips where they're planned. DH told me this am it is genetic for women to start to work earlier. He and DS have some heavy lifting ahead. I wonder what they'll decide about the basketball net which is free standing.

We have one car in the garage but the truck never did fit and will stay in the driveway.

Could the bags of amendments go in the trunk of the car?

Hi Pirl, I hope you will be safe in your area, My son and his wife and kids left for higher ground about 150 ml to west. His MIL and SIL stayed , worst is yet to come, at home they still have power and Phone, but the eye of the Irene is coming in about 2 PM. I don't know how I would feel if I lived in Long Island, it looks kind the low area. I hope by the time it comes close to you it will slow down. Etelka

Nothing here yet. Was raining in the city before. 75 and overcast. Calm before the storm!

Just started raining hard.

81° & cloudy Winds should arrive by Sun.

Thanks, Kiseta. The water across the street would have to rise by 20' to get to our driveway so we're not about to panic, as if that ever does any good. Hope your son and his family are out of harms way.

The rain started about 1:15 but now it's light.

Wind is now starting to pick up and it's raining

stay safe all

Praying for everyone to get through this.....

Just light rain here.

My son is going back to the Outerbanks, on Sunday, he said they never lost power or phone, he is happy, and the kids are going back to school Monday.
I hope all the NY, NJ, De gardeners have it least that easy, best wishess, Etelka

76°, wind from the ENE @ 12 mph, H 93%, Baro 29.44↓, very light rain

Radar says the heaviest rains are about to hit. Weather advisory says higher winds on the way. The dog is sick. I'm going back to bed it's DH's turn.

Oh, no, Candy! Does not sound like a fun time for you.....I'm hoping my basement stays dry....

Windy & rain overnight. Church services cancelled as governor doesn't want people driving. I have heard a couple cars go by.

71°, wind from the SE @ 38 mph gusting to 50+, H 93%, Baro 28.67↓, heavy rain.

Going up to 77° today with heavy rain & wind from Irene. Dropping down to 59° tonight with winds subsiding.

Catbird, -Not looking happy.

aw poor babies

I think this Irene, the most hated woman is petering out. Hardley any wind and the rain is tapering off. I think this lady lost her upper right cut and is getting knocked out. In other words nothing here and what I see its almost done.

Total rainfall 5.91"

Wow - thought you would have more than me.

Loving this breeze. All windows are open. Nice to clear out the house.

The next week is forecasr to be beautiful....I guess we all need it.....one heck of a year so far!

Yes - crazy weather year! Next few days look ideal. Looking forward to fall. School starts on the 8th!!
