Gorgeous weather yet again. I’ve noticed a little parching of the bedding plants, but not enough to get alarmed about. If we don’t get a rain in the next few days I’ll need to turn the sprinkler on, but until then, we’ll just thank our lucky stars for the wonderful weather. We have been so …
Good morning, y’all. Another fine day in the mountains, but the temps are starting to rise. There doesn’t appear to be any rain forecast for the coming week. I’ll have to double check that. I can probably look at the weather map for Houston and New Orleans and do a better job of predicting the …
If I was trying to get to Dallas or Chicago by airplane, I’d probably be busting a gasket now. We’re watching all of those folks milling around in the Atlanta Airport on TV. What seems to be plaguing the summer time travelers is the inability of the security at the airports to process the travelers …
Good morning, y’all. The rain is upon us. It’s fine, it’s appreciated. In fact, I’d be real disappointed if everything I planted this year died for lack of water. It’s just that I’m on a strict budget. When the water bill gets up in the triple digits I get a haughty memo from the executors …
President Obama just made the most “true” statement I think I’ve ever heard. The President was delivering his commencement speech at Rutgers University when he informed the audience that, “Ignorance is not a virtue”. It was delivered in the perfect context, in the perfect setting. As for the setting, the President was in the heart …
Good morning, y’all. Another scrumpdillyicious, beautiful day in the mountains. I noticed that the wildflowers are in full bloom on our trip to the Walmart in Blairsville. The dogwoods have peaked, as well as the Azaleas. Next we’ll be looking for the later blooming flowers, like the lilies and cone flowers. It’s very restful to …
Good morning, y’all. I’m having a real flashback to the movie, “Caddyshack”. Everyone remembers the damage being done to the golf course by the gopher. I’m getting damage to my bedding plants, and it’s not a gopher. It’s coming from the chipmunks. I may have to go “old school” on Chip and Dale here before …
Good morning, y’all. Well the temperatures are climbing back up a little bit closer to normal. In spite of the recent weather switcheroo, we didn’t have any bad storms to speak of. I’m seeing on the news that Tornado Alley was struck real hard in the last couple of days. It looks like the Alley …
I started thinking about all of the things that come our way as a result of the air currents. Certainly the rain would be the top thing on our mind. Next would be the seeds and pollen that travel without borders on the back of the winds. I guess we could call the allergies that …
