No. I've been wondering what happened to him for a while. It's been months since he's been here.
-
That 5 inches was the rain I had here in PA not sure how much mum had, something similar I think.
-
Yes, yes you are ...
-
Stop it Albert. Mum is over 600 miles away. I don't need the added worry, thank you.
-
Those penguins are naked ...

I'll wait a bit before I do that. Current temp is 77/25° and forecast to reach 83/28° with more comfortable humidity. If it holds I'll open up overnight.

You were out standing in the paddock to pee ... or ... in the stable block for a bit more privacy.
-
Some might call this obsession ...
-
Greetings Albert. Well enough thank you.

We get that too. I suspect it's because of the wide cultural mix. We have PA Germans, Scots-Irish (more properly Ulster Scots), English, Swede in the early settler mix.
-
She is thank you.

He's awake now. Some folks here will refer to them as "creamer" too, though more often just "new" potatoes.

The stormed passed through with not much other than a deluge of rain, 5 inches. Some minor flooding expected over the next 24 hours or so. The sun was shining brightly a bit ago but there are still a lot of clouds. My headache eased some but has intensified in the last half hour. We've had a quiet day.

I've never tried mint. What sort, spearmint, peppermint or something other?

Spoke with Mum this morning. She had no issues with the storm, rain and wind but not bad in her area. Over along the immediate coast the storm surge washed into hotel pools and parking and across streets. Further to the north closer to where the storm made landfall things were more severe. No tornados. She said it's a beautiful day this morning.

That's an interesting tomato. I've never grown that variety though seedlings for it are available in this area. Your potatoes look to be the size for steaming then serving with melted butter and fresk chives and parsley.

G'day y'all. It's currently raining and 70/21°. We've had a light rain fall most of the night, heavier rain from Iasais is to arrive later this morning and last through late afternoon/early evening. Needless to say we did not go for our usual morning walk. Thistle is currently sleeping in my lap. He must be dreaming because his legs twitch every so often. Going to be a lazy day I think. My head aches and I am tired. Blessed be.

Thanks. Those are very nice looking spuds. My dad has a set of hanging scales that belonged to my grandfather. They would be suspended from a barn beam and used the weigh grain bags, hay bales, etc. before taking them to market.
-
I managed to finish work on the new lawn. Seed scattered and covered in a light layer of chopped straw ti retain moisture and discourage birds and such. I envy you digging potatoes bro. While I can find fresh potatoes at nearby markets I remember how tasty my own fresh dug ones were. The day has turned rather pleasant. Currently mostly sunny with scattered high thin clouds. Temp is 84/29°, far nicer than it has been. The pup and I have spent the last hour relaxing in the shade but I should make some lunch and return the tiller.
-
She is in the projected path. I just read that they expect Isaias to regain hurricane strength before reaching landfall. I'll try calling her in a bit to see how she's doing.

G'day y'all. We didn't get the strong storms overnight. We are in a bit of a transition. The temp and humidity level continued to drop since we woke this morning. It is currently overcast and 74/23°. The day is to remain overcast with a forecast high near 87/30°. Rain is possible later today with heavy rain a near certainty tomorrow as Isaias moves up the coast. My headache has eased some so I hope to finish working the soil and planting the new lawn this morning. With the cooler temp and cloud cover it should not be too difficult. Blessed be.
-
Greetings! It aches terribly. I'd like to take my meds but if we are to have strong storms I don't want to be sedated. I'm trying the quiet restful approach and less strong medication.

Here we woke up to t-storms but those passed quickly. It stopped raining by the time we left for our morning walk. Showers started up on the drive to the park. A gentle rain was falling when we arrived. While the temp was warm, 77/25°, we would have been thoroughly drenched making for a soggy drive home. We returned home only for the showers to end. The sun did come out and the temp reached it's current 91/33° with the humidity it feels like 99/37°. We sat out for a bit this afternoon but another passing shower sent us back indoors. It's become very breezy. There is the potential for more storms as another front moves through providing a respite from the heat.

Thanks Tim. Stay well.
