Default Weather!

Rain again today! And cold! Wonder if that horrid fire in Canada is causing the smoke to change weather pattern. Anyone know where I can get a pattern for an ark!

It is going to be once again in the high 80s and 90s here is So CA.

What kind of an ark do you want? Here are some of Noah's Ark:

Maybe there is something you can use.

From what I heard the warm front that was up there pushed the cold front down toward us. Our weather has been back and forth for weeks. I can't get the time to cut my grass and thinking I just need to get a goat or sheep to keep it cut since it grows so fast and the rain is usually on my days off so I can't cut it.

We have the same thing here. We wanted to go to Door County this weekend to celebrate our anniversary, but it's going to be rainy and in the 50's. May as well stay home!

I am SO SICK of rainy, cloudy, cool, gloomy weather I can hardly stand it a minute longer!!!!
But just read a weather report that predicts same weather until June.....JUNE!! My lands, that's THREE WEEKS away...I may rot by then. My mojo has gotten up and gone over a week ago.

I'd be thrilled if you could send some my way. We were suppose to have a terrible El Nino winter with tons of rain. We've had three days all winter! And this summer when it's 103 for weeks on end we'll really wish for some rain.

Not a bad idea. We are in the Atlanta area, and in town there are lots with "city owned sheep" or maybe county owned, anyway, we drove by a lot inside the city where they wanted the kudzu and other green stuff gone, and there were a bunch of sheep and two sheep dogs monitoring progress. Half of it was already scalped. Who would have thunk it? Surely not I!!!! Or is it "me"? From what we know, the sheep are moved to other places. No toxic chemicals needed.

If I could, I'd be happy to send you some. We had some real heavy storms last night, and we're back to having standing water in the easement. More rain for tonight and tomorrow.

Ha, ha......I was just being silly, with all this rain - out of last 22 days, 15 have been rainy - I was thinking of a pattern for an ark, as in Noah's......

Its raining here too in Iowa and the temps are chilly but I still have my windows open. The only good thing I can think about all this rain is that my water bill will stay low this summer as I added a water hydrant out in my gardens to water them and the last couple of years I haven't really had to turn it on. I do have it on to water my potted plants as they dry out super fast.

I'm sure the farmers around here are groaning too as they're trying to get their crops out and can't with all the standing water in their fields. I feel for them as this has been going on for the past couple years here. The previous years before that we were having a dry spell and on a water restriction. I'd cut my grass once a month only to keep the weeds down. Now I mow every 5-6 days to keep up with it.
