The Good Day All Thread

Good evening all! It's getting warmer here by the day. Phew...

Oh boy do I ever have the perfect software for you @toni

I've been using it for years to save my eyes during late browsing and it's really helped.

 

Good morning all. I really need to be taking advantage of the clear sunny days by getting outside and weeding. Too soggy to plant anything in our black clay but the weeds are having a wonderful time growing and I think they have learned to walk cause they are dropping seeds all over the yard.

Thanks for that link Frank, I'll check it out. I think part of my problems are the cataracts I have that seem to be getting closer and closer to time to get them taken care of.

Oh, shucky darn, I just realized that I have to get back into the routine of making supper. I haven't had to cook since Tuesday of last week, wonder if I remember how.....gosh I hope not, I hate cooking.

 

Good morning all. VERY wet again this morning, a storm moved through slowly last night and left behind 4.5 inches of rain on my gardens. The ground is so soggy now that the mosquitoes don't have to find pools of standing water to lay eggs in, they are living in the soil. But just like clockwork, June begins on Monday and the rain chances become close to 0% on Sunday. But the good side is that we are supposed to have far fewer 100 deg days this summer than in the last few.

 

Good morning all. Another 2.5 inches of rain fell on my garden early this morning bringing to monthly total, so far, to just over 10 inches. The weather guy last night mentioned that the people at the Ft Worth office of the National Weather Service (where all the records for our area are kept, etc) did some playing with numbers and determined that if all the rain that has fallen in Texas in the month of May was spread out over the whole state (and didn't soak in) it would cover the entire state with 8 inches of standing water.

But the rain is supposed to stop after this morning and the chances of more rain for the coming week are pretty low. But it will take many days for the flood water to find someplace else to go since all the rivers, creeks and lakes are overflowing.

 

Good morning all. At least it's now a good morning since the stomach bug ran is course through my system overnight, I wanted to get up early this morning while it was cool outside but not that way.

Lots of plants starting their blooming season this week, no rain since Saturday just lots of sunshine and they are loving it. Even Spooky is feeling very playful this morning, he is giving that ball on a stick a good batting around.

 

There have been snake problems up here and not all of them are harmless, a few people of been bitten while walking through the high grass that can't be cut because of the soggy soil.

 

Cheryl, Epsom Salt is a great fertilizer for all plants.

Good morning all. Another bright, clear, sunny day.....I am beginning to really miss the clouds and rain. The black clay is still pretty soggy so I will have to hold off on getting new plants in the ground, maybe tomorrow. Looking at the plants on the bench out front, I hadn't realized there were so many accumulating there since I had decided a few weeks ago that I wouldn't be buying more plants this year. Hmmmmm, plant addiction is an insidious thing that sneaks up on your unaware.
