Good morning to all. We have been having rain all week and 84 degrees sure feels better than 104.

Mornin'

Hate to say it, but enjoy that rain while you can. Another heat wave to follow. We're back to the top of the 90's and into the 100's for the beginning and the rest of this week according to forecasters. "No relief in sight." :(

Hey, I'm not complaining. It was so hot here, my lawn looked liked a hay field. Rain makes the grass grow, which keeps us busy. I'll enjoy my day off especially since once football season starts in a couple of weeks, I lose every Saturday until November and 2-3 nights a week.

Hi Rave. Looks like Outlaw's aim wuzz off when he threw the rain this way lol. It's going west of us. Cloudy and an occasional mist but that's about it. At least it's a little cooler.

Yeah - We seriously need rain here. The forest is starting to looking like early autumn. Leaves are going yellow and dropping. It's so sad. :(

Think - Green Pea Gravel - no watering, no mowing and always looks fresh... It is very popular in some areas of CA and NV...

We have been fairly lucky. Except for a little hail a couple of times. We have been getting just enough rain - no floods and the plants are happy. Figs are plentiful this year. We walked around the neighborhood last night and gave away about 4 gallons of figs - after canning and freezing about 3 gallons worth. Picked more this morning... Best year we have had in a while...

The crops aren't doing all that great either Rave. With the woods that dry be vigilant for anything that may cause fire. That's the main downside to living in the woods. I've had friends have to evacuate and come back home to find nothing.

Yea, they are talking about anything that uses grain or corn - expect it to sky rocket in price...

That's usually the way they justify price hikes anyway. Sometimes it's real and sometimes it's created. One thing for sure if they say it's going up it's gonna. It's been costing a lot to feed hogs for a long time now and I know a few people that ate most of their chickens to keep from having to feed them. It went up during the last bad year and never came back down.

I'm not letting my son have any campfires right now. 'Course - who wants a campfire in this heat anyhow? How awful for your friends to have had that happen. I'd be devastated.

I think my taste buds went on vacation :( the only juice I can taste today is banana. Why banana? shaking head,,,,,I wish they'd come home!!!!!!!

Trouble with your taste buds are common when you start vaping. A lot of folks suffer from flavor burn out. It especially happens if you vape one flavor only. It's kinda like when you can't smell your own perfume anymore. Best thing to do (if you can), is switch up your flavors a bit - or try vaping mint or menthol for a bit. They'll come back. It happens.
