I just heard the temp hit 100 here again today. Tomorrow will be better , only in the 80s It’s been a sweaty chore keeping my landscape watered. I heard from my sister that they had rain in Estes Park today which is so great.
@Kay your in a heat wave , really miserable. One more day of triple digits and cooler temps for you for a few days. Rain in Estes Park is hopefully helping to protect your place and open a way for your sister to drive out to see you soon. It was 88F here today and much more comfortable than last weeks tripple digits. Some garden plants are showing signs of heat damage. But generally the soaker hose system keeps most of the garden plants watered enough to keep them in good shape. Stay hydrated and in out of the heat. I noticed just standing outside watering in this heat is exhausting. I carry a mister bottle with me to spray myself it really keeps me cooled down.
Good morning all, light cloud and a gentle breeze temp 16c to 21c Precipitation 0% Sunrise 5.37 Sunset 20.49
Looking at our forecast it looks as if we're currently under a rain cloud......unfortunately in reality we're not. It's still bone dry outside and the sun is trying to breakthrough, sometimes our forecasts are so way off the mark !! It amazes me how they can still get it so wrong with all the technology they have at their hands.
We had a bit of rain before 7am but now it's cloudy and a gentle breeze from the west temp 17c feels like 19c
All over and done with now and back to the sun trying to break through....somehow I don't think it will succeed much this morning. 19C( feels like 21C).
Oreti I love it when it rains. It gives the garden a fresh clean look. Your garden is green ,lush and lots of charming plants & lovely flowers. The perfect blend of shrubs , trees, and perennials = 4 season garden.
Thanks so much @Pacnorwest . How are you feeling today , is you hip any better? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's on the mend.
Hi Oreti.. thank you for asking. I’m still on the grumpy side . Slowly this will get better. It’s a gorgeous sunny day temps just right. By this time next week I’ll be running a marathon.. around here .
