What is your weather like ... today

[texmaster]

I don't know how you folks with the heat do it.
I think if it was me, I would sleep during the day and get stuff done during the night!

We dont know how you folks deal with it in the winter!

IT WORKED, @j.w !! Got a bit of rain overnight, maybe 1/4" or so, but mid-afternoon we got a good thunderstorm with an inch or more of rain! Thundering again now, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Keep them weird creatures dancing!!
John
P.s. Cooled off nicely too!

Good, good, good @HARO

"Reno has had 81 days in a row without rain as of Saturday, meteorologist with the National Weather Service Dawn Johnson said"............. But after hearing about flooding in parts of the country I'll not complain.

humidity has been so high here that mushrooms are growing every where and yesterday heat index was 107 and today they are saying higher .The dog days of August are upon us .Funny thing the deer are eating the mushrooms and so are the rabbits .Wednesday will be at Duke Hospital all day

Squirrels like mushrooms too. My truck engine compartment was filled with mushrooms from the squirrels hiding them there.

 

[sissy]

I see the squirrels here but have not seen them eat them yet .I put tubs of water out for the deer to drink and shallow ones out for rabbits and stuff .Seems like they are drinking a lot these days so put fresh in every day .Gosh I hope they are not hiding them any where here .We only see the black squirrels here mostly .

OMG, Mrs. Clem! That would be awful! It's hard to bring the pumps inside, once they have been "established" a long time. My cords are all under plants and vines along the outer edge of the pond, which is great, as it hides them, but awful when you are forced to do pump repairs outside. Glad you got your pump going again, though!
Rain settled in early this morning. I see weather.com is calling for up to 3" before it ends on Tuesday. North of me, at one of our State Fairgrounds (IL has two, no clue why ...), there was severe flooding, the camping area was under 3' of water. Can you imagine the insurance claims to be filed? Or, worse, if people don't have their campers insured??? Animal barns were under 1-2' of water as well. Straw bales were stacked up so people could get to their animals. Pretty sure animals were all moved out. Fair closed for couple of days to try to save everything. And, IL is still without a State budget ... this really didn't help matters.
Good news, though, is that during this rainy day, I allow myself to take a break from my outside activities (building chain link fence, weeding, watering, etc.) to watch movies (Netflix) and cross stitch (the second of 3 Christmas stockings for my daughter, SIL and granddaughter.

I agree, Sissy, I have mushrooms growing here, too. So strange, for August. I've never seen such a wet August before. I love to see green all spring/summer/fall, though. Just hate that so many parts of IL were flooded this past week. 4-6" of rain falling in an hour will do that. I planted some extra elephant ear bulbs around my birch tree, and mushrooms have come up around the bulbs. This is my black eyed susan plant I grew from seed that this mushroom is coming up around. The EE's are in the same area, under the same tree. Not sure if it's the tree, the mulch, the bulbs, or combination of all that is causing the mushrooms to grow!

 

[sissy]

I know here when ever it is very humid and hot they come up .No rain needed for them to come up .We have had some heavy rains but no flooding around me .The creek across the floods bad but does not get up to the road .If any one buys those lots I feel sorry for them

 

[texmaster]

Its going to be a high of 84 tomorrow! In Dallas! In August!

Let me put it this way. I've seen it snow more often down here than this happening!

 

[CountryEscape]

The rains started here late Fri. night, and as of first thing this a.m., I've had 2.6". It's pouring at the moment, has been a steady fairly heavy rain all morning. Supposed to get another 1-3" before it ends sometime tomorrow. Lots of flooding going on in this area. I'm super thankful I'm not farther north (by only 75 miles) where the State Fairgrounds received 4-6" in a very short period of time middle of last week, and flooded the campgrounds. Vehicles and campers were sitting in over 2' of water. Barns were flooded where animals were housed. It was awful! I didn't get any rain out of that storm!
Temps are cooler, but humidity remains high ... well duh, it's raining! LOL

 

[sissy]

humidity here is 97 percent again and started some work out side and gave up .Any one need something for there pond Dr Foster and Smith has free shipping no minimum order SHIP2ME is the code .

 

[j.w]

Going to be beautiful here all through this week and ?
