Yea, Mike! Coming from South Bend, naturally most of the family members were White Sox or Cubs fans. I remember when I was about 9 that I got really mad because my mother and uncle wouldn't take me with them to see an early season Cubs game. But I got my revenge. It was soooooo cold that day, they left after the first inning and made it back in time to listen to the rest of the game on the radio at the house.

Pouring rain all evening and supposed to continue heavy all night. Then rain all of tomorrow. Much better than having snow.

We are water-logged here. I wish I could send it South for a week or two, since we don't need any more for a while. But, more is on the way for the next two weeks. At least this has made up for the shortage we had last year. I think we may be above normal right now.

Yes, wish we could send to to Debra.

Loving all this rain. Making the snow melt FAST! Could actually see the ground in some of my flower beds today!

I'd like to send some rain to Linda, too. And anyone else that needs it. This has been a very odd year for weather.

Hurray for melting snow!!

Rob...been meaning to ask...what snake is your avatar ??

Beautiful day here. The heat keeps comming on but Mr. Sawzall is yapping at me again to do more clearing out so I guess I'll just turn off the furnace since Dixie will open the sliding glass door...no point in heating the great outdoors

Common Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis). Had thought it was a garden visitor last year, but looking through my photo notes, I see we encountered this one while on a hike in Hollis, New Hampshire last year. There was another one we had in the gardens that we found while eating a frog...I got pics of that somewhere too, perhaps I'll post them later if I can find them.

Everything is totally sopping wet out there. And still raining which is supposed to last all day.

It is sleeting quite heavily here

now it is SNOWING

It's raining here again. I just need a couple of dry days! We need to spray the yellow starthistle. Got part of it done a week or so ago, when it stopped raining for a day, and we need to get the other 3 acres sprayed!

I'm just very thankful that it's not snowing.

I was feeling a bit left out with the rain sharing so thank you Natalie. We are crispy critters here about to blow away on the next big wind.

So sorry Linda! Wish we could share.

So much rain in the past two days. Over an inch just for today and yesterday it rained harder than today.
