The Good Day All Thread

Good morning everyone, yesterday the weather service was in a dither as I suppose they should be when nasty storms are in the area. All the hatches were battened down and the plants were braced for the worst. Each raindrop crashed to the ground with the expected vigor, driven by the wind that accompanied the cold front. Drops 1 thru 10823 did their best to make it look like a storm but drop 10824 and after were nowhere to be seen. The storm clouds continued their trek southward and the flowers put away their umbrellas, the rain gauge had no difficulty counting the drops, 7/100 of an inch. Today is much less humid and the morning temperature cooler but the flowers have again started their chanting "Water, water, water". The tomato is smiling, it knows it's first.

Happy Thursday morning. No rain yesterday so I had to use some water out of the rain barrel to water the stuff in containers. Today's weather should be a repeat... temps around 93F and 20% chance of rain. So pretty soon, I'll have to get back to my watering routine. But having the water hoses go on vacation for nearly two weeks sure was nice!
And I had a great dumpster find this morning... a HUGE cardboard box. That's going to go a long way in killing out some of my grassy area!

Good Friday morning all. Currently 13°C and still dark. I'm getting an early start to my day for an early start to my weekend. Still no rain so I'm dragging hoses again. Have a great day all

 

Good Saturday morning all. Currently 12°C and clear. It is quite "dewy" this morning, that is the most moisture my yard and gardens have seen in weeks! Housework, laundry and cleaning the pool are my jobs today. Have a great day all

 

Good Sunday morning all. Currently 20°C and sunny. Heading to a baby shower today. Cleaning this morning, what fun!
Have a great day all!

 

Happy Sunday morning. A little cloudy out, but not much of a chance for rain.... just like yesterday... temps near 100F.
The mowing is done and I need to finish the weedeating/edging today. Layed out quite a bit of cardboard and mulch to smother some grass.
Today... clean out the "trough fountain". And one of my aunts has some periwinkles she wants to thin out so I'll go over there and do that.

 

Good Sun afternoon,went on a garden walk today in the city.I was amazed at the amount of watering being done.They must have huge water bills.I suppose if we had city water we might water more. We don't want to risk our well so we kind of pick & choose what to water. Going to have to start watering some young trees.Tomatoes are on the list for tonight.
The plant I saw today that looked the worst was the hostas.
They looked like mine do.Lots of scorched leaves. Just ugly but I don't think they will die.
I've never seen anything like this drought.And I've gardened for a long time.

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently 18°C and still dark LOL Thunderstorms hit all around us yesterday, but all we got was 3 minutes of rain. Looks like I'm still dragging hoses today. Have a great day all!

 

Happy Tuesday morning. There's been some rain in the area... just none at my house. So I'm settling back in to my watering routine. And my rain barrel is empty. :'(
But since it was empty, I was able to get it out of the way so I could paint it's stand.
This evening, I need to get the weeds out of the front flower bed.

 

Good morning everyone, a rain shower producing .15 inches of rain passed through the area during the sleeping hours. While we could have used more, every little bit helps.

Good morning! We had about ten minutes worth of rain here yesterday. dr's shed roof doesn't leak so we are busy bringing our things from storage to fill the shed.
It's building up for another afternoon shower.
It's not much rain but it sure makes the weeds grow. Texas does grow big weeds.
