It's been beautiful here too. 79 degrees & it is only 11am. The weather guy is calling for thunder storms this evening & winds in excess of 50 miles per hour, so I think I will be plopping 5 gallon buckets over many of my plants tonight before the storm hits. Good thing my husband is an assistant foreman at a bucket factory...I have thousands of buckets in my garage lol

4:44 and 87 degrees. WAY too hot for me!! I like it cooler. Although, humidity is only like 46%, so that's nice.

I'm back home!Lake was nice...windy and cloudy and ovrcast all week.I got to see the sun on the way home& now its rain.rained saturday off& on and is now pouring by the buckets& really really hope it don't mess my hill up cause the tractor is makeing noise.I set out 4 plants of herbs from a trade and they are currently being pored on as a welcome(lemen mint,catmint,valerian& wild bergamont)my rose tree topiarys are in bloom and my alhoa roses are just loaded(well by now maybe a lil less petals)its 68& hazy and 100% humidity& seem to have almost 3 inches of new rain today and is only 12:21..........so we gonna be quite wet& have mini lakes in yard.don't think will have a watering need today.

We were into the 100*s this weekend, skipped right over spring directly into summer heat. Icky. It is supposed to cool down by this weekend but not by too much. We'll probably have a cool June just to really confuse us and our poor little plants.

Fallbrook, California...yesterday 98 degrees....today a sweaty hot 104 degrees.
Camp Pendelton was doing practice firing late, late last night and early this morning....now there is a fire over there again!!!!

It rained all night here last night, Cold (ish)
and windy most of the day, and then around
5:00pm, the sun broke through the clouds,
turned out to be a reasonably nice night,
but they are calling for SNOW :p
We'll see, it did say for the higher elevations,
but we're real close to that!!!!

But after that, it's suppose to start being a little more seasonable in a day or two, in the 50's and low 60's!!

Weezie

Weezie thats probably my rain I can't even produce snow here I ain't forcasting that snow Or use all of thier brains at important moments
the heat will probably speed up your plants growth for a bit maybe.pools are great.or even sitting a chair in the sprinkler.but your water is high so i'd go for a small pool.

Hey Njoynit....my son is in bootcamp at the Lackland Air Force Base right near San Antonio, Texas. My daughter and I are going to his graduation which will be smack in the middle of May!

After graduation he will be transferred to Sheppard Air Force base near Whitita Falls, Texas.

I have really been watching your weather posts but Texas is soooo big... not sure if the weather in your area is what he is getting. Are you located near either of these bases????

I'd pack a pair of sweats a pair of jeans a sweat shirt and tank tops and light clotheing and maybe a dress.The cool m mornings actually feel great but once the sun is up they are history.Us teXans pretty happy with rain as long asnot an overabundance of it at once& look out july..Thats the prediction for a major hurricane to landfall tx coast.My bets with galvaston.what week ya comeing?flying?driveing?hang glideing.They got a 33 acre botanicle garden& theres the alamo.
When ya comeing this way?you'll be 6 hours from me about 300 something miles away.

I woke up this morning to some snow on the windshield of the cars and a good thickness of ice in the rain buckets!
plants look a tiny bit un~happy, but I know will be fine...
Now tomorrow it's "supposedly" going to be 70*'s?
Go figure :rolleyes:

But it's cold out there now, I'm hopin' for some sunshine to start cooking things soon!!!


*****Njoynit,
Wow, that 33 acre botanicle garden sounds like ALOT OF FUN!!!!! I wish I could see it!!!

That pool sounds like alot of fun!!!
We got a little one for the boys but I can't
fit in it..Maybe someday!! You're lucky to have it!

I didn't have any ice here, but the temperature dropped to about 30. No frost though, at least not on the ground. I saw a bit on the roof of my cars.
I think that's the last frosty weather in the forecast now for the next 10 days, so I'm taking all my tender plants back outside.

It frosted here a bit last night.....you all should have saw me running around in the rain with my sheets and buckets covering as much up as I could....quite comical.....lol

Supposed to be 70 in a few days though.....woo hoo.....back to some warmer weather.....

It snowed here in Indiana for about 15 minutes yesterday & was in the low 40s all day long. Then this morning I woke up to 68 degrees & full sunshine...looks like it is going to be a hot one today. This weather is so freaky this time of year.

HEAVY frost here last night.
Going outside in a few minutes to check on the damage to my plants. Covered all I could. I'm sure I'll be back in here crying in a few minutes!

I got ice not frost I think alot of the trees I colected for bonsai aren't going to make it. I had to take them when I did tough because all the buds are opening cause the days are so warm and if all the sap goes up into the tree then the roots won't grow back. It's a pretty horifying technique but it's to save trees from the forests that they're tearing down and blowing up so that I'll have a kind of tribute. Just so you under stand how it goes I chop down the tree to about a foot cut the big thick roots off that wont help take in water at all and in a couple months little shoots come out and you train them to hide the trunk.
I think the "frost" was about an inch or two thick. My clover seems to be pushing through this crummy weather, frost all week and every day it looks as though it's come up more ...
Haven't realy taken a look today though.
It's not going to get much higher then 9C today but tomorrow's supposed to go up to 20C.
I think that's about 70 for you united statians.
Sounds like we got about the same weather weezie.

Its cold here.....50 degrees right now. Its been windy too.....too windy for frost to lay lastnight. :rolleyes: I'm tired of the wind. I hope it warms up soon!

our low was 73& muggy and no breeze just calm muggyness.I woke at 3 cause was too muggy to sleep.I went back to bed about 8 till noon& woke up hot as blazes so shut the windows turned on the AC.I was in my pool at 4 am.I seen a rabbit in yard...took watergun& squirted him...he hopped away.i seen him return about 1...he was mowing grass!

SNOW! ya jokeing.ya gotta move SOUTH!
autuam sage is in bloom now& my day lillies have buds& I need to propagate my mums cause they blooming!the seirria pinks.and got a new butterscotchy/gold iris blooming.is pretty.

It's been in the high 70s low 80s all day!!! Hotter than heck, but I'll take it

6pm, we are at 78 (85 with the heat index) 97% humidity, 0.61 in rain today (don't even have 10 inches for the year yet) and cloudy. ugh... the dogs won't even stay outside.

I was able to tell the "weather" what to do today!
(Only backwards sorta)
I came out side with a sweatshirt on, and all of a sudden, it got sunny out.... I did a bit of compost sifting and it was HOT, so I went and got a lighter shirt on and next thing I know it got cool again, so I decided to go make lunch.......
It was still cool at the end of lunch so we put on the warmer shirts, and out we went, and the next thing we knew it was hotter than blue blazes!
So, we got the cool shirts on again!!!
That lasted awhile, and I thought to myself "it was a nice day out side, but sure could use some rain", cause the ground is crackin' and guess what happened next??????
It got all dark and it rained!!!!
Weezie

Weezie,

I can just see you and your kids dancing in the rain! I love the light, spritzy rain that makes the dirt darker, the green greener and puts sparkles on the flowers.

Sounds like you had a happy day, and those are the best kind to have!

Oh boy has it been hot in Fallbrook lately...over 100 degrees. To top it off, we have 2 fires going again...one at Camp Pendleton Marine base and the other just across the 15 frwy.....
Catlover

Daisy and Gardengal....heard there were fires in Lake Elsinore and in Riverside county....are you okay???

Was a little sunny today, but cool....mid 50's.....supposed to have a frost tonight....I got everything covered......I think this is supposed to be it now for the frosts though.

Camp Pendleton fire is back out of control....now evacuating people in De Luz...Temecula fire is sure bellowing!
Lake Elsinore fire is still out of control.
California fires ....here we go again!!!
