Good evening, radu...they sent a notice out at work today for HEAVY rain in the general area, mostly an hour north in the valley, but we would be getting some.

A shower just went through....the deck and the street are wet. Watering the lawn for me is good.

[Kathy in Alaska]

What a fun outing for you and son. Enjoy!

[luvie]

Bless her heart....and yours! (((hugs)))

Guess I’d better go since I can’t sleep in tomorrow. Work, ya know! :)

[luvie]

LOL! He’s so funny! Thanks!

[luvie]

Yep. I really did wait. :)

Thanks! Gotta go now. 6:30 comes way too early after sleeping in for the last 3 days. LOL! Nite!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Poison Ivy? Danger! Danger!

Glad your knee is feeling better.

Did you do the pub this week? Ready to go back to work?

[radu]

WOOHOO on that rain! Hope you get some more!
And I hope the areas on fire up there are getting some too.

It was actually comfy here today. High only around 84 or so with low humidity. It’s chilly outside now.
The heat comes back tomorrow and there are chances for rain Sat. through at least Tues. Whether we get any of it or not remains to be seen.

[radu]

You did wait a few minutes. LOL!

I was way too late to make a jump because we went to help our friends load the U-Haul for their move to FL and spent a little time visiting afterwards. Sure gonna miss them.

Good night and sleep well. 6:30 comes way too early ANY day if the week. LOL! Sell lotsa pretties!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmmm...wonder what all the security folks were about?????

Stay safe and may no trees fall on your house.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sure do hope you get some of the rain in the next few days.

It started again here....I can actually see it bouncing in the street. Hope it keeps up.

And hoping you get some as well...and soon. Those soy beans will be grateful.

[radu]

Great! I know you’re happy you won’t have to water the lawn for a little while. :-)

Yeah, our soybeans are desperate for rain right now, as are crops all around here. We passed by a few fields this evening on our way to our friends’ house to help them pack and the corn leaves are standing straight up on the stalks. They should be flopped down.

No yellow leaves on our beans yet but it won’t be long if we don’t get some rain.

We all just hope it doesn’t rain out the fireworks shows this weekend. That’s what happened last year.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Great pic for remembering...thanks, Luv.

We MUST remember!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Have fun flying the skydivers.
