What is your weather like ... today

[CountryEscape]

Hey, talking about wanting a lawn fairy, Sissy, I was chatting with the neighbor boy, the one who has the 3 Herefords at my house on my pasture (for free, cause I always wanted some cows, and had the extra pasture!). Well, mentioned I need to get my permanent fence put up. We talked about it and how I wanted it done and so forth, and he said, "You get the materials, and me and my cousin will come and put it up for you ...and I won't charge you anything cause you're letting me keep the girls here!" So ... looks like all I need to do is foot the bill for the corner posts (which he says he can get about 10 of them for free!!!) and a few more T-posts, wire, and voila, I will have a permanent fence, which will mean more than one electric wire. Woohoo!!! Guess that would be my "fence fairy", but don't tell him that LOL he would not approve of being referred to as a "fairy".

I'm with you JW, I will offer anyone my rain. It rained most of today. In fact today we had snow in some areas here. Not on my mountain but across the road from us. When they mentioned it on the radio this morning about possible snow I thought are you kidding. Even tho we have had snow occasionally in the past at this time, I was hoping I wouldn't get any. :beer: Tonight temp is 36. I'm ready for summer! :sun_smiley:

poor guys helping you and you calling him a fairy :razz: .Wondering also about jw and her scuba diving suit and what she is going to do when she has to go to the bathroom :razz: tad bit messy .Been in the 70's here and got so much done last night I was amazed .Had to go to lowes to pick up plumbing parts for new tank adapters I ordered from pet mountain and found a great tote or what ever you want to call it at 22 dollars and it was square and very heavy 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft deep and great thing is it did not have slanted sides .I was going to use the round one i had but the tank adapter did not sit on it right .I know have to figure on the tote where i should place the adapter top ,middle or closer to the bottom .i want to put plants in the top of it since the lid was 6 dollars more .I put it so my water comes in the top with a spray arm and then goes down through the filter media .On the tank adapter i hook a T pvc pipe that has a pvc pipe that goes down near the bottom and this is all with 3 inch pvc .not sure that explains it .

Raining again!

 

[sissy]

and we need rain .

 

[j.w]

Sissy you can have it all!

 

[sissy]

I would just wish a couple of days of rain .I like rain when it does it at night and you get up in th morning and it smells fresh and clean and all the plants are smiling and happy

 

[sissy]

Think of those northerners who get sick of the bone chilling cold and the south that just dreams of snow .

 

[j.w]

Yep sissy if it rained here every night I wouldn't mind if it only was sunny during the day!

 

[addy1]

We might get some, rain, but looks like it is missing us. Darn corn not growing, must have gotten too cool, corn likes warm soil, darn stuff.

 

[sissy]

that would be the perfect state to live jw but I don't think it is out there and if it was no one would tell .We looked like that yesterday addy and today sunny and hotter .I'm glad I got my trees trimmed last night and got the new LED lights up .

DH and I went for a nice long walk today, went the long way over 8 miles prolly. Big black clouds started to form when we were a mile or so from home. Walked in the house and BAM the hail started coming down in buckets!

You can see the splashes if you look close that the hail made when landing in the pond:





On the deck

Cool I love hail. Not the damaging kind though! We have not received any this year yet.

 

[CountryEscape]

Neat pics, JW, and soooo glad you made it back to the house before that hail started! That's a long walk, too. You are quite the fit lady.
Temps are going up, to upper 80's by weekend, and no rain in sight. Yep, we are going to be begging for the wet stuff really soon here. Been a week since I mowed, but think I'm going to wait until Monday to mow, unless we get some rain between now and then. Daughter flying in on Monday, I don't pick her up til almost midnight, so plenty of time to mow after work. Come on rain, .... JW, I'd like some, too, please ....

 

[j.w]

I can walk a long ways but the fit part is an over statement............I have a ways to go!
I can't guarantee you rain but I'll try my best to blow some your way CE!
