WooHoo for you!

School is out for us tomorrow!!! Now is time for some serious sleeping in and gardening in the heat of the day:))) It's what I do best!
Bev

Ahhh....Sleeping in. I can't remember what that's like...
:)

I had to do my full watering routine again this evening. That 3' that Barry brought only went so far.
Hoping for "late afternoon thundershowers",

Deb

we've had those for every day since Barry, except today

Joining you tomorrow, Deb. For today...it'll be wiiiide open.

See how I'm avoiding going in, right? Just one more cup of coffee!

Wish me luck/survival:))

Bev

We were back to watering here yesterday too, the rain from Barry and a few T-Storms gave relief for a few days. At least we should be getting some summer-like weather with afternoon T-Storms now. Anything to balance out this horrible heat would be nice. 96 today already... and it's just June.

On the plus side... I'm sure the plants love the warmer and more humid nights.

Hmmm...we've had some afternoon clouds roll through a couple of days, and I've heard thunder, but no thundershowers..yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time considering the heat.
Deb

Ditto here, Deb. I'm back on my manual watering for all the new stuff we put in this year, plus all the stuff we put in last year. That rain was great while it lasted...I actually poured me an adult beverage and went out on the front porch to sit and enjoy it. And I did! But it obviously wasn't enough... Are those Hyperion starting to show blooms yet??

Ohhhhhhh, you just reminded me my Hyperions need to be divided. They didn't bloom well last year because they were too crowded. Pitiful, just pitiful plant mom here.

We've had those signs of rain also but it has only been the signs, no wet stuff. Maybe we should just pretend it is raining sit on the porch and enjoy the adult beverages anyway. :-)))))

Hear! Hear! 'Clink'
Bev

Jim: Yes, the Hyperion have several "scapes" on each plant. I'm hoping at least one blooms before I leave next Friday for a little holiday. I'd hate to miss them!

Spent 2 hours watering this evening. Then had my adult beverage. :)
Deb

Keeping my fingers crossed we get some T-storms tomorrow.

Lots and lots of rain today... had some good T-storm activity for a while. We avoided the worst of it here in Lexington, but we still got a nice down poor.

Miraculously, we had a lovely long shower last night, leaving us with 1/2" in total.
Smiling.
Deb

(Dark clouds around this afternoon, but no rain from them yet.)

we got lots of rain last night it helped cool things down today. Hey keonikale, i was in L-town this past weekend. you were right it DID change a lot. however it was nice to be bak at home sweet home and see friends after more than a year of separation.

PS we went to newberry to get a fishing boat for my friend... the dam was HORRIBLE. it took us 30 min to cross it

Hopefully in another month or so they'll have all 4 lanes open from Lex into Irmo and it'll be a lot better.

For such a small town (Columbia) we sure do have a lot of traffic around here. Of course, after seeing Miami two weeks ago, LOL... well I can't complain too much.

Hopefully it will NEVER be like Miami or LA in size or traffic...

If that even happens, I'd be more than shocked.

On the rain note, we received another 3/4 of an inch today. Yesterday a system came down from the upstate, parted right over us and then rejoined south of us. I felt jipped until today. Hopefully we'll see some tomorrow and/or Friday as well.

I think there is an umbrella over Surfside Bch.It only drizzles.My daughter a few miles inland got a nice shower.At least the tourists are happy.

I shouldn't brag (but I am doing such a happy dance here) but all told, we got a total of 1.8" yesterday. YES!!!!!!!!!

we got rain yesterday until like 230; tuesday around midnight; monday it started @ about 830. i cant say for sat sun and fri cuz i wasnt here
