I almost don't believe it...

It has been drizzling here in northern Indiana for 15 minutes give or take and is officially the longest lasting moisture drop for me since March.

Not much for accumulation, but I am not complaining. Hope everyone gets a bit of liquid gold from the sky.

I lost 20 of my cherry and a few pear trees, most of my grape vines, most of my blackberry bushes and all of my red currants thanks to this draught.
The earth has truely been scorched for alot of people.

Need a massive jump in silver so I can sink a well out there and replace everything lost.

Zucchini must be from a very dry climate because the things have absolutely thrived during this seveal months long dry period without watering. Harvested several yesterday and ate one raw while it was still warm from the sun,friggen yummy. Have 100 plants going and should get a ton of them this year for dehydrating, gifts to parents and next years seed saving.

Those trees may have gone dormant is all..

It's so dry here, the bindweed is starting to show stress.

[Dogman]

It's so dry here, the bindweed is starting to show stress. Last year it was so hot and dry here I needed to mow once, before everything turned brown. Was so hot/dry that it did no good to water anything, even my rock garden died!

We had about 3 min of rain at 3 this am and then again at 4;40 am it rained for about 7 min. Central Ca.

Weird weather here.

Yeah, Florida has been really nice this spring and summer. Hot and humid with rain nearly every day. The lakes are filling back up. Beautiful clouds. Tiger mosquito's are huge and numerous. It's hard to catch a couple hours to mow the grass between rain showers.

i bought a new sprinkler.

cost me $5 ! works SO MUCH BETTER than the one i bought at a garage sale for $1.

the new one covers an area about 30 x 60. i wired some steel rod to the bottom to keep it in place.


but ... i have to be careful because there is poison oak.

got it on my arms, my nose, my forehead.

my eyes are half way swollen shut. one of the more interesting cases of poison oak i ever had.

so i'm washing everything in sight.

If this keeps up I might have to actually cut my grass!

Today I learned what a tiger mosquito is. Thanks! I have lived in FL for . . . it pains me to say . . . 28 years. (Eeeek) and I don't recall ever hearing the term "tiger mosquito". They look big - gotta be I guess if you're gonna see those stripes.

Great, now I itch all over.

Yep, nice and rainy all spring and summer here. I wouldn't be surprised if they start talking about draining Lake O again.

Quick look at this map and you'll see the equator runs North - South instead of East - West

Click on Temperature rather than the default temperature/wind.

There is a Large sucking noise coming from the North Pole.

I guess I might be the only here that's not happy about that. I took tomorrow off to do yard work and chill in the pool.... Suppose to rain now. :( I love hot sunny days!!!

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

Goin up north to do some canoeing this weekend. With the lack of rain I imagine we'll be doing quite a bit of portaging.

Must be nice! I'm too cheap to turn on the sprinklers. My shit is lookin' baaaaad in the front.
