Oooh, sounds wonderful, Louise! How can I describe the weather, & not get booted off this site? I guess there's no way---took my Mom shopping, to the drugstore, to lunch---my rain jacket soaked through, & is still wet! The wind is blowing the rain sideways---when I stopped for gas, had to wipe rain out of my eyes to read the final price----
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 47
Raining here to but not too wild so far
LOL, Robin! We'll be "singing in the rain" together at Kathy's RU on Saturday....hope the potential for rain doesn't keep you away after today's experience for you!!
How are you, Maria??? Nice to see you posting!
Thanks for asking Donnie, I am fine just trying to avoid being depressed about this rotten weather, really should vaccum and dust but don't feel like it, want to work in the garden bwaaah
Where is Victor did he escape to some where wjere their is no Rain???
I take a week off to go to Cancun and enjoy the sun and what do I see this afternoon on the weather site for Cancun next week...... Possible RAIN every day.
I can't win....lol
treatened rain this morning, doing the real thing now, tomorrow, etc.@$%^&
it was a terrible day... flooding everywhere (makes it a tough one when you drive most of the day).... looks like they changed our forecast for tomorrow.. saying it's going to be clear now
Maria - haven't you heard that it is bad luck to vacuum and do housework on rainy days??!!! LOL (I always avoid bad luck where I can! You should too!) You are very wise to resist the "urge"....LOL HaHaHa!!!
Oh, No, Marie.......!! I hope the forecast changes! Have a great vacation! Take lots of books in case it does rain.
Allison.......hope it turns around tomorrow for all of us! We have Grandson #1's kindergarten graduation on the agenda! We NEED sun. LOL
Donnie, just about managed to get the mail today and eat all the naughty things I could find in the fridge and pantry , ha ha ha. Right now a monsoon arrived, juk
I think Victor is pretty busy with the plans for his parents 50th aniversary party this weekend. I'm sure he'll pop in tomorrow.
Rained here today, not once, not twice, but three times! hail the size of golf balls, winds up to 60 mph,,,but other than that,,,land of sunshine. come on down!
I am coming down girl!!! lol....
will be praying for clear sky for you Louise!!
63 now going up to 79.. cloudy... then clear today... might get rain tonight
97 today, heat index of 107,,,afternoon summer thunderstorms
Pouring rain here at 64', will it ever stop?
Dark with light rain. But I can get a couple of new shrubs planted, I think. Patti
Hear that noise on the roof all night? I think someone may be pitching pebbles up there to grab attention.
and THE THUNDER ROLLS!!!!!!!
mcrochet, are you up in our neck of the woods? Now just cloudy and cool. Patti
No, in Florida
The next time I see the sun ... if there IS a next time ... I'll probably die of fright from the big, strange light in the sky. [scowl]
Now, if I were a mushroom farmer, I'd be over the moon. If I could see it, which I probably couldn't because it's rainy, cold and cloudy every night, too.
Did I mention that I'm FED UP with this rainy weather? Overall that's all we've had since March. And this is coming from someone who enjoys rainy days.
Very humid today! Went outside to cut some flowers for a bouquet and was attacked by skeeters. Glad I had on long sleeves and pants. Currently 68, but going up to 80's.
edited to add:
Feels like we should be in the PNW with all the rain.

Well(whispering) at least it's not raining and I see a patch of blue(don't want to scare it away).
Very humid(73%) and party cloudy. 71 high of 80
Rain yesterday afternoon, all night, with a small break this morning, raining now. Never mind the weeds. I worry if iris seed pods will rot, stalks must be cut & possible bortrytis on the peonies--weeds are the least of possible problems; we have through Oct. to take care of those.
Not raining most of the day, I got my planting done. Patti
lied, now raining. Patti
You all can have some of this weather here.

Raining hard now, but cool. However it looks like it will be a short burst. I hate the heat. Patti
I am not complaining....I am not complaining.....I am not complaining...
I also do NOT like heat or humidity.
Rain this morning, torrents on our way to get DD and horse from camp. Stopped, high humidity and now cooler and looking like rain again. What a day!
It did NOT rain here today---YAY! We saw sun! Crabgrass, I was close to you today---went to New Preston to get a gift certificate at Hopkin's Inn---the sun almost blinded me! Mcrochet---sorry about the heat, but you're talking to folks who haven't hit 80 in 2 months! But I don't like that kind of heat, either!
Maria - you are a woman after my own heart! I laughed so hard when you mentioned working so hard at getting the mail and eating every naughty thing you could find. Yay! Sounds like you dodged the bad luck!!!
mcrochet - You be safe down there in that extreme heat. I still get a weather alert from Fla. on my email since we spend the winter in south Fla., and I read that very warning you mentioned.....yikes. Keep your a/c on!!
Allison - thanks to you......the weather was just fine for the Big Event. Tee hee....kindergarten graduation....now that's some big event!!!
Felt very sad to see what all that rain has done when a whole branch of a peony broke, so I just added some Mountain Laurel and Valerian.
Actually made it thru the day with no rain. woo hoo!
Maria, great peony and I am happy it found it's way inside your house after breaking. Looks wonderful. Patti
Domnnie...and to think I actually had to walk 300 feet to the mailbox, it was quite an excursion,lol
Thanks Patti, did not want it to just wilt away out there
Sun came out late this PM, but quite humid, it is 71' right now, much warmer in the house, hope it will cool off really do not want to put the AC on
Lovely peony vase, Maria! 300 FEET!!! Wow - that gets you lots of points.....so no vacuuming for at least a month!!! LOL
Patti - sorry you won't be able to come to the RU! I was looking forward to seeing you!
Jen - now that's a red letter day!!! Happy almost Solstice!
We had storms again , and now it cleared up. Wacky weather today!
