It's been raining most of the day here also. Another 80% chance tomorrow.

We heard thunder and there was some lightning, but power stayed on here. We went out to eat and it's sooo cool outside, for a change! Are you bracing for another possible hurricane, Horntoad?

I'm watching. We are just now entering the scary part of the season.

Yes, I'm sure you are watching. There's going to be a memorial in Biloxi Aug 29th to remember the day Katrina destroyed most of the coast.

We FINALLY got rain last night! Really, I thought the caliche would have to stay as concrete forever the way it was going! 2 1/4 inch...feels nice!

Hurray! Hurray!

I was so glad I didn't have to water last night. So many of my plants were looking absolutely miserable from the heat. They sure perked up today! I'm hoping the system moves in tonight and get rid of the muggy mess it is now.

WHAT?! Humidity dropped down to 36%? It's 94* but it feels nice outside! Could it be Fall is just around the corner?!
