I hate weatherpeople. If there's reincarnation, I want to come back as a meteorologist. That way I can be wrong about 100% of the time and still make bookoo bucks. Seriously. I spent about 4 hours yesterday watering because there was no rain/snow in the forecast for the rest of the month.

It's raining today. BLEH. I'm not one for complaining about the rain, but I had left a ton of stuff outside in my backyard because it wasn't supposed to precipitate in any way.. and DH & I had to hurriedly cover it with tarps so they wouldn't get ruined. Sad Oh well.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but found my camera this morning & took some quick pix. Almost none of the new roses I got from Burling this year made it due to drought & high heat. Sad They were just too tender to survive. I lost almost 100% of RU's roses too. Sad Too small/too tender. I need more robust roses for my ineptitude.
