Its hot. No fires nearby but its hot, yesterday it was well into the 100*s. Went home and tried to save my poor little babies, some of my little guys I started from seed were just fried (tomatos are gone, blk eye susans are gone). Its just too hot. I think I'm going to have to increase the sprinkler time for the next couple of days. Did I mention its hot???

Yep...it is SWEATY hot!!!

Hey Gardengal...I leave for Texas out of Ontario on the 12th and return the 16th of May...I'll wave as I fly over your house!!!!

Instead of Hot and dry ....I have a sneakin feeling it is going to be hot and HUMID in Texas. Ohhhh I am hoping for a cool streak...and Lord if you are listening... no rain or lightening please...my tickets are non refundable. :rolleyes: You have to be careful what you wish for.

Karen,
I flew thru a lightening storm!!!! Then I thought I'd better because of
all the ruckus it was causing and I was going
to turn into the charactor on The Twilight zone that looks out the window and see's a monster tearing part of the wing off in a storm...

Thought it was best to just not watch!

HOT HOT HOT!
spent yesterday at Disney's California Adventure, perfect day, NO LINES... the longest line was 15 minutes and that was for the river raft ride. We put swimsuits on the little ones, under their clothes. anytime we got too hot, off to the sprinkler areas to play. we balanced indoor stuff (shows) and outdoor stuff (rides). Slathered on the sun block, drank LOADS of water and had a great time. But boy was it HOT.

I've been a good girl and watering every morning, my front yard is looking so pretty, one of my friends came over Saturday and was teasing me saying she had to stop and "tour the garden" before she rang the bell. I only have one flower bed. but at least what I have is getting compliments. I'm swellin' with pride since I'm such a newbie. Now, if I could just get that back yard lawn to be green... one step at a time...

Yeah, don't it feel god when people compliment you on your beautiful plants? The Fed Ex guy comes here once a month to bring a package for Lola. Today he couldn't believe how the yard has changed since a month ago. He said, "I can't believe you've done all this and have all this new stuff growing so fast! It's beautiful!" He said "How do you find time to do all this? Do you work anywhere?"
I told him "Yeah, in the YARD!!!"

Got down to 32 last night. I was a maniac on a mission covering things up til 1 a.m.

Hi everyone. Thought you might like to know what the weathers like in England. We've had a lot of rain this week, even some hail stones. The temperatures about 12centigrade. It's about 4.55p.m. and sitting here looking out of my window the sky looks very dark.

I'm feeling pretty jealous reading about some of the fantastic temperatures you're writing about on here!

We had a beautiful day today here in Northeast Indiana, low 80s all day & nothing but clear skies. Tonight we are having one of the worst thunder & lightning storms I have ever witnessed. There is so much lightning it looks like it is 12 noon & it is nearly midnight. The sky is so lit up. I probably shouldn't be on this computer, but the storm is keeping me awake because my dog keeps barking at the thunder lol.

Chrissy, we just had a doozy of a thunderstorm here this afternoon......probably the same line that you had.....It got so dark outside all my electric candles in the windows came on.....the wind was whipping, the rain was torrential......It passed through fairly quick......at least all the plants got a really good water.

Before it passed through it was really hot today......humid and sticky......the storm really cooled it down.....

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL and hot here today in Hillbilly Land!
But, I guess I missed it. Lola and I laid on the couch all day until 1 o'clock when I dragged myself into the shower to go to my doctor's appointment. When all this tumor stuff is over with me I will have to make up for some lost time!

God bless you Cindy,tumor stuff sucks.I'm clueless as usual.I've been through it too.You will be in my daily prayers,chick.

How's everyone's weather????????

Weezie

It's been extremely hot and beautifully sunny here in KY for days, maybe a stray thunderstorm here and there. But, MAN!!! I've been watching all that rain that's been happening elsewhere! I hope you guys have a boat! I've been begging for a "water feature", but NOT that kind!

Humid, Humid, Humid.......and Hot!!!! 100 percent humidity.....It's partly sunny today....

I don't mind the heat, it's the humidity that gets you.....the air is just so heavy.....

We've had tons and tons of rain here lately.....we were under flood watch the other day but luckily downtown didn't flood. About 30 miles away an emergency dispatcher saw a tornado form and touch down.....very briefy and then it broke up. The thing is, this is the mountains of western MD.....we aren't supposed to get tornados here.....about 6 years ago we had 4 or 5 of them around here....one being an F4 that caused a lot of damage. People have said that we are only supposed to get a tornado once every 100 years here or something--freak things....With the mountains around here if we had one in my town it would bounce around in the valley I guess.....Never heard of one going up a mountain before.

We have isolated thunderstorms on just about every day of the week--or we did, the weather channel changes things so much sometimes I wonder if they know what they are talking about....

cold and rainy for the past 4 or 5 days here in NH Kinda sucks that my plants don't get any sunlight >.< My desert rose so dearly needs it. Its starting to turn yellow again

Hopefully it'll warm up again though ^.^ Times like this i'm glad i have an indoor garden!

Up Till Last Thursday it was nice, since, rain,rain,rain, falling temps, Rain,rain...Now at 11:43 Monday, it's 45 degrees, cloudy, damp...Well at least it hasn't rained for hours now...Maybe...Hope it STOPS Bouncing of the Walls Here!!

Its been cool here, in the low 70s during the day, overcast and gray. Its supposed to stay this way for a while. Its a nice break before summer hits and its hot again. Would be even better if we could get some rain so maybe we won't be quite so dry. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I sure would love some of that rain and the cooler temps. It is dry,dry,dry here. The weatherman says its 93 degrees out,but my thermometer says its 103 I'm having to water every day or my plants go limp. When my water bill comes in,I'm going to mark it return to sender addressee unknown

Just a wee question - seeing as you live in an area that like Vegas depends to some degree on tourism.

Here in Vegas the themometer usually measures several degrees higher than is reported/recorded. We take the assumption it is for the tourist trade -- "tell them its cooler than it actually is so they won't feel so bad." It is NEVER more than 116F even if the thermometer "unofficially" tops 120+.

Do you experience something similar there????

Jon

BAD storms here!!!
Tornado 10 miles away where my daughter works!
I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, ToTo!

("Auntie Emm, Uncle Henry!!!")

Ooooo Cindy........just click your heels and repeat after me, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.....

We've had quite a few bad tornados here the past several years. My daughter must attract them, or something! Two years ago she lived in an apartment in town, and a tornado ripped through her neighborhood and destroyed a shopping mall a block away from her, and EVERY house near hers was damaged, some totally blown apart. The apartment beside hers had the entire roof taken off, but it didn't do a thing to the apartment she was in! She gets pretty freaked out when there is a storm where she works. Her office is HUGE, and there is nothing but glass about 30 feet high on three sides. She didn't even see the one yesterday. They seem to destroy everything around her, but she's always safe! (Hmmm...that's weird. ) Andy just called from town and said the place was swarming with emergency task force units, and T.V. news crews everywhere because of the ones we had during the night that I was totally oblivious to! (Better cut back on the pain medication, huh?)

WOW!!! We had more bad tornados last night about 70 miles from here (in Lexington). Wiped out an entire subdivision. They just showed some video on the t.v., and there were 2 X 4's sticking out of the sides of houses that had been impaled into them! So much rain and storms here in the last few days. Andy has gone to get the dozer to fix the destruction here. We have 18 inch deep trenches down the driveways from the rain.
Did I say a few days ago in a post that I wished it would rain here??? O.K. I'm sorry. I take it back!

Yep,
We're getting it here too,
the rain, no tornado's
*which by the way, I send lot's and lot's of to them for days the days ahead and reconstruction*
The back yard in areas' was up to my ankle's.... :rolleyes:
*the over flow off of the road goes directly between my mom's and my property line, and straight back, veer's to the left in front of my lilac tree and out to the back by the back shed and swingset!!
It's a river, no lie, through on really hard down pours, luckily, I mapped it out early as to the flow and only put wet loving plants thru there and all seems happy as long as I dont walk thru it.

And its supposed to get very chilly tonight, lower 30's :p Well, by the end of the next two weeks the garden will be finish, so, shouldn't be too many more days of lower cold temps.

Weezie

LOWER 30's?????
Where are you? Is Siberia in NY???

WOW Weezie!

It's only 60 here right now and I'm already freezing! Tonite will go down to 49, but they are saying that tomorrow nite will be 43!!!

Waaaaah - I want the warm sunshine - especially when I probably have my daughter's strept throat now! I'm crawling back into bed just as soon as I get back from the dr's.
