How's the Weather?

[bjfgator]

I'm still waiting for this storm with 70 mph winds they said we were supposed to get. Just rainy and breezy. Everyone at the store is buying toilet paper and milk. I am not sure how that will help. If the power goes out the milk will go bad. Personally, I find it ineffective to try and mop up water with toilet paper. They do the same thing when it snows. Again, it's difficult to shovel snow with toilet paper.

It is nice to turn off the ac, open up the windows and listen to the rain. It rained a lot while we were camping.

Here in Tasmania it is COLD. Storm warnings today for severe winds, it rained and it was just icy - without the fun of snow. Not that it bothered me much, I must admit. I throw on a wrap & still sit & vape for ages outside, much to the amazement of my elderly neighbour.

Toilet paper & milk? Yeah, I don't get that either.

Hot here Ms. Bjfgator. Rain only makes it more humid....

Gorgeous, lows in the low 60's and high's in the upper 80's this has been a great summer. That's Idaho for you, even the weather is boring!

Good morning. I've been to Boise and Idaho City several times. Talk about beautiful! Mercy. I've also been there in summer, fall and winter. My favorite part was hearing the elk "bugle" at night. Now that was weird! LOL

The weather is similar here in Colorado. It gets very cool at night...and where I'm at it gets quite warm during the day (30 miles south of Colorado Springs). Very pretty. But I have a feeling I'm in for a weather culture shock when winter hits, eh? LOL

Good morning all!

Weird weather here in central cali....nice, then hotter than hades, then rain. I like it though cus it's usually just hot and dry.

Gorgeous by Chicago standards. It's high 70s low 80s now but the biggest thing is that the humidity is gone! Finally! It may be cool enough for me to do some grilling.

How's the produce been out there? Just went food shopping and we had to go to three different grocery stores to find ACTUAL fresh fruits and veggies. This summer has killed my diet

I've got big, red juicy tomatoes and hot chili peppers growing in my backyard

Central Valley has now been turned back into a desert. We now have to import most of our non-citrus produce.

That sucks El. This summer has been horrible all over

Discman has finally tamed the tomato jungle. Things got out of control when we were gone for a week. I had cucumbers that could have been sold as torpedos!!!! Evidently, there are a bunch of tomatoes ready to turn. They are coming in late this year. Last year something ate all my cuke plants so I planted about 30 of them this year thinking that 5 - 10 would survive. Practially all of them are still growing. I said a prayer for cucumbers. We have picked about 30 of them this week!!!! My neighbors and co-workers love me!

Wow, you're doing way better than me! I have 6 planters of herbs that are growing slowly or damaged from too much sun. Definitely no green thumb here, but I still try!

This year, despite the heat, we have had adequate rain. It's not so much ur thumb as the weather. Too too hot, like last year and no pollination which means no crop. I am also worried that the bees r getting fewer each year

I've been seeing less bees each and every year. For personal reasons I'm happy but I know we need the little buggers for pollination.

The drought didn't do that. Some idjit 9th Circus judge did that by judicial fiat a couple of years ago, turning off the water to the entire agricultural mecca of CA in order to "save" some kind of bait fish.

It's going to be brutal for everyone who eats meat or grains, too.

Not a good sign Ky! I'll definately have to fill up the big freezer before everybody see's the price jump!

 

[BHam]

I'm stocking the freezer up with my grains and meat now. I can't start paying $8-$10 for a pound of ground beef. I'm talking to Vanessa about buying a deep freezer but we just don't have the space but it would be perfect right now!
