Putting in a trellace for next growing season and hadda dig some holes yesterday.
The first foot down was damp and deeper than that was dry as a bone- the fine stuff was like dust.
No wonder my apple trees have aborted so much this year. Tiny apples laying all over.
They always seem to abort excess early each year- but never like this.
Raining nicely right now-  will see if it lasts long enough to do any real good.

Keep em' east .
We are pretty damp here along the mighty Hudson east . Mowed the grass after the scorcher today . Swam in the pool a few times and worked on the tin .
90 degs , 99% humidity .
Wishin for clear blue skies and calm seas weds - Sunday .
Looks like rain though

Humidity is down just a tad ,72% but starting to get HOT , "two hot to handle" that tin again . Gonna have to wait until sun gets behind trees . Speaking of sun , I haven't looked at sunset times but it's for sure getting earlier . Was below trees about 7:00 last evening .
Guess I picked the right weekend to get projects done as today is another small craft advisory on the Great Lake . Hope she plays nice later this week and the fish are hungry :)

I hope you have some luck this week Rich,need some positive news!

So far , Thursday is looking ok but Saturday looks like a wash with 1" rain possible .
Hope the pavilion has lots of activities for the kids . Having 6 grandkids stuck inside a camper don't sound like much fun

Forecast is looking good. Could get a monsoon this weekend........

This morning it's a steambath out there with the dew points in the 70's and temps in the 80's,lots of thunder rnorth of me and I hope some of it gets here as we could REALLY use the RAIN!

It looks as though we got a quick down pour right after I left for work. There is still a small puddle at the end of the drive......
 

A few ten minute cloud bursts between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM but nothing for the rest of the afternoon.  I hope more is on the way because we could sure use it.

How can a weather man be wrong ? . Might rain, might be High waves .
Crazy , it changes by the hr . Now it's looking like 1-3 are normal , 50% T- storms and possible steady rain . Really ?
We are packed and stacked no matter the weather .
Hope to share pics of the Great Lake adventures week -7

Had 6/10 yesterday and today an unpredicted hard rain and thunder and lightning storm -looks like more to come too.
Grass appears to be coming back from dead brown to green with a small rain a couple of days back so start it living again..then this too.
Humidity is unbearable.
Really happy about the much needed rain.
 
 
Ended with over an inch this morning and more coming momentarily.

Rolling thunder and threatening skies as I type.  We could use it so I'm not complaining. I have wet a line in over a month due to low water and high temperatures.  Hope to start getting back on the Housy before the end of the month to sharpen what skills I have for silly season. 

Second verse, same as the first; early afternoon through evening thunder bumpers bringing heavy down pours every couple hours, yesterday afternoon.  Thunder at times was awesome, starting with a low thumping type sound, way off  in the distance to my southwest then practically vibrating the windows as it passed overhead, until finally dying off to my northeast.
 
Did get my grass cut, but just in the nick of time and not without the effects of the the heat and high humidity.  Protocol for mowing includes the 'the dog log shuffle' which becomes more time consuming with each previous missed day so having gotten busy, installing new doors......, well let's just say ridding the yard of 'Fido bombs' took a while.  Now this procedure took place mid-morning yet, by then, it  was so hot and humid I was thoroughly soaked in minutes and I was wearing, nothing but a straw hat and my shorty shorts.  
 
Now there's a picture for your mind's eye, but hey, it keeps the Amish neighbors on the other side of the fence.
 
Speaking of Amish folk, did you know Amish clans live in China, no seriously they must.  My straw hat was purchased at a big farm supply outlet and a sign said "Amish Hats" then when I got it home, I noticed the label inside said "made in China".
 
Weather dude says 40% chance of rain today with temps. in the upper eighties and high humidity. 
 
Gotta git........ wife's voice is beginning to sound, a bit gruff!!

Hot and steamy . A little bumpy this morning . Beach time !!!

We had lightening and thunder all around us for the last two evenings, but we didn't get a drop. 10 miles from us got inches of rain.

I need some as I am growing weary of hauling water in buckets for 300 yards to the bare root fruit trees I planted this spring. Most are doing well, I lost one pear, one peach, and two Apple, and don't want to loose any more.
