   The winter storm “Hunter” passed through last night leaving us with about 6 inches of snow, covering a layer of ice,  the very strong winds left drifts 2 feet deep in some areas. Hubby spent over 2 ours with the snow blower just trying to get the driveway open. The snow was deeper in the back yard than our pup is tall so we had to dig out an area for him. This has been the worst winter that we have had for quite some time. Mr. weather man say about 2 inches of snow again on Monday. I can deal with the snow, but not the ice.

 We had a couple of days of nice weather, low humidity and no rain, but the heat has returned to the place it is unhealthy to be outside for very long, and now we are in a semi-drought situation. We have to accept what we get and remember it could always be worse.

Another overcast and damp day, but that is fine with me, I love days like this because I can cook and bake and not feel guilty about don’t going outside to work. This has not been a very good summer for outdoor projects, we had so much rain early on the any good day we might have had we needed to  spend mowing and trimming, then came the very hot and dry weather when the grass went dormant and started to brown, this rain has brought it back a bit along with a lot of unwanted weeds, but that nature, we take want we get and be happy for it. No complaints here.

Still very hot and humid here, temps in the high 80’s but with the humidity it seems much hotter, the grass is looking very sad and need attention, but we are not able to manage this weather so we stay inside. We did have some rain last night which is helping, at least it was enough to help the gardens and the animals in the woods to have some water. I hope this humidity leaves us soon, I can handle the heat but not this intense humidity.

 So very hot and humid here, it seems to be non ending, and so much rain!! We have been trying to get the tree man to come cut down some trees, but the ground has been so wet he in unable to bring in the equipment, we have to have at least 6 trees removed and some more trimmed up. The bushes all need to be trimmed but I cannot handle the hot and humid weather, and the house needs to be power washed, with of the rain we have green stuff on the siding, as done most folks in our area. I have to saw this is the most unpleasant summer I can remember. Looking forward to Fall, I hope it is normal.

EXTREMELY HOT!!!!!

     The weather here is nearly unbearable, the heat index today is going to be near 100-101 degrees. Just a few moments outside just takes its toll. A schools have  canceled in our area, please Fall come on in, we are so ready for you!

 This afternoon we had a storm like I have not seen before, it came up extremely fast, I was in the kitchen and noticed it was getting dark very quickly, I checked the weather and saw a warning the a storm was due to hit us in the next 10 minutes, it arrived almost to the minute, winds 45-50 mph extremely hard rain  that was going sideways for some time and the wind was fierce, I have to say I was very scared, we had about 2 inches of rain in about a 30-35 minute span. When it was over there were several small branches down and a lot of twigs and leaves. I am sure there was damage in other parts of our community. I really don’t want to see anything like it again, it liked very much like a straight line wind.
