Sheri..did you see your PM ??

Bestofour, I am fighting baby potato bugs here. Junie, it is $12 for a mini watermelon here...you'll have to wait for a sale.

More rain for today.

$12.00? Nope, I can do W/O a watermelon thank you very much though.

The mini's are $5.00 here and they're so very sweet. I've bought two this summer.

$5, that's a deal.

It is still raining, we have a hard time to get one day a week of dry weather. What a crazy Summer.

We are getting afternoon storms here this week. Luckily all my appointments are in the mornings.

I was trying to share.

It is calling for a dry day here tomorrow....I will be out mowing, trimming and weeding all day if it is.

Well share you did. Almost 4 inches so far in the last 24 hours. We have a funeral 3+ hours away tomorrow. I hope the hail & storms do not follow us. We got lucky No day. The hail we drove thru ( some reported to be 1.75 inches in size), did not leave any dents that we could see. I really do not want to push my luck.

About the rain, I bottled up about 8 gallons of rain water yesterday. And I watered all my potted plants that are under roofs. So now I have nowhere to go with all the rain that is coming down.

I have to take the car out today as I have a Drs. appt. I hope all we get is rain.

Hail is awful. I still have holes in my siding from a bad storm, I patched them but one can still see them. I remember the old truck we had at the time we got the golf ball sized hail, it had more dents than a golf ball itself.

I wish you safe travels tomorrow.

I managed to get the 'ride on mowing' done this evening, push mowing and weed wacking tomorrow if the weather cooperates. I have never seen my grass so thick as it is now.

Rise and shine...and come on over, there is plenty of weeding to do.

We could use a little rain. Getting tons of cucumbers, gotten a little okra, but the tomatoes aren't doing that great.

It seems we never get what we need when it comes to the weather, Bestofour. I am only starting to get tomato flowers at the moment, in fact my beans and such are only starting to set flowers this week as well.

How do you cook your okra? I never see it in the stores around here but it does look good.

Yes, I would like to know what you do as well.

My Aunt made the best Fried okra. Flour and cornmeal as a breading, but it was yummy not slimy. When I made it it was slimy.

What do you do, Bestofour ?

Rise and shine. Thunderstorms for today here....seems to be the norm.

Good moe.

Sunny here...for now anyway.

Any sunny days here this week means equipment repairs.....I bet it won't rain at all.

Sorry for the sunny days...but then your garden will be happy for them.

I think this is the last "not scorching" day of the week. "Only" on the 80's..and lower humidity.
The humidity and the temps will be back to rising beginning tomorrow. “They" say this triple digit weather could likely begin to be the norm in the summers.

I don't mind the sunny days...I just don't like the equipment repair. There is always something that needs to be replaced meaning extra money spent and travelling around to even find the part.

Today was a sunny day meaning that tomorrow I have to go look for a replacement spring and chain links.

It's always something isn't it ,?

Good morning, the sun is shining and the flies are swarming. At least it is not snowing...got to look at the positive lately.

Yes, glad there is no snow !

Good afternoon !

Rain for today, I guess that means us gardeners should clean and mop.

We got rain yesterday I did laundry.

One load of towels are left for today.

Rod shared his cold with me. So considerate of him, huh?

Such a considerate man you have.

I am hoping we get a dry day today, my lawn needs to be cut...it is calling for a chance of a thunderstorm though.

Finally getting tomatoes and boy are they delicious. I fry okra in a little oil. I don't roll it in anything. Just plain and it's delicious. I grow it and it is sold at the farmers market here but in the stores it's frozen - which fries up very good.

Thanks about my DH. And yes he is SO "Considerate".

Thanks so much Sheri

I got the lawn dealt with yesterday, today is weeding...if I can get out between showers. I look like I have chicken pox from all the fly bites.

Enjoy the tomatoes Bestofour, my cherry tomatoes have started to form...they are tiny and green but there is hope yet.

Closed...new one opened.
