Hi everyone :wave: it's been a while! It's been nice this last week or so, low humidity, but today it made up for it :( good ol' Indiana weather lol. And it looks like we're getting your storm Colleen, just started an hour ago. The Ohio River is close to flood stage and they issued a flood warning today. But Hopefully it stops by morning because our church is hosting church services, down at the river front, to close off the the last day of the Shriners Festival. It will be the first time our city has allowed a church to hold church services on the river front! So wish us luck!

Well it rained again!! Nothing too dramatic, except now the creek has risen cause of all the rain in the area. I heard about lots of different flooding issues today, not just me I see!

My front flower beds look great, dispite last nights quick flash flood. It is hard to tell there was a flood at all! Except, one of my old buffalo bones washed away and I found it down the street, on the neighbors yard. Some of my wood chips got washed away, but the rocks seem to have held everything together nice!

The heavy rain also freshened up the pond nice too!!

Ohh! And CE, the plants you sent me are doing great! And one of the four Lily's BLOOMED!! Im so excited! Two beautiful Yellow flowers! :) Thanks so much!
Umm ... I don't have any yellow lilies! So, either they are the Georgia Peach, which is a combination of yellow, light pink, peach, or maybe you're talking about the Water Fringe, if I sent you some of that? Is it a tiny yellow flower with fringed edges to the petals? If so, that's water fringe. I only had white, pink, dark pink and GA Peach, can't remember what I sent to you! If you have a yellow lily, I want one next year! LOL that's one color I've never had in lily ... yet! Glad the plants are doing well. Mine from you are doing great, too!

Sounds like my weather last weekend. Five days in a row of rain, but the difference was I never got any high winds, and mostly straight down rain, too. Probably had 4" total, and ground is still very wet and squishy, but not much rain now for the last 5 days, just maybe 1/8" on a few little showers. Been heavy downpours yesterday, but they all missed me. :banana:
Sun been out all day. My indoor/outdoor temp says it's 101 outside, and I know that's wrong. Got a new set, same as old one, inside control had been dropped too many times LED screen was all messed up. But, I didn't go ahead and replace the outside control, so I guess I need to do that after all. Weather.com says its 86 outside, which is more what I thought it was. Humid, though.

You are allowed to keep the sunshine as long as you can, JW! You don't get near enough of it, so we won't try to steal it back. Wait, I have sunshine, too, so you didn't steal mine. :blueflower: Heading outside to pull weeds in the garden. Will pull very easy, just pretty hot and steamy out there. Will take lots of cold water ....
