Oh my! We are at 67 glorious cool degrees. Tomorrow morning will be a real treat!
Hope you have a beautiful autumn morning, too!

[radu]

Howdy, MEG!

No way to see that pic and not have a smile on your face. :-)

Are you enjoying the cool spell y’all are having down there?

[radu]

Dang! Looks like we’re the “hot spot” out of the group tonight with 72 degrees. LOL

[MEG33]

I am going to take advantage and clean up the patio tomorrow. We are going down to 60 tonight!

I love autumn! We’ll heat up again so I’ll enjoy this while it lasts.

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy! (yawn) Happy Succoth!

[luvie]

That sounds like the perfect lullaby for sleeping...rain falling. I can’t believe you’ve gotten so much! I hope it won’t harm the beans now that they are drying out!

[luvie]

Isn’t it WONderful? We’re at 55. I have flannel pj pants on! I love this weather and I don’t WANT it to be 90 in two days. LOL!

Maybe they’re wrong. I can hope so. :)

[radu]

Indeed, this cool weather makes one ready to do things outside. It’s supposed to be another soggy day here tomorrow so outside activities will have to wait another day for us.

It’s a shame it’s going to heat up so much down there again by the weekend. Maybe it won’t last too long and autumn will come back to stay.

We’ll have low 80s and that will be nice, especially on Sat. when I work at the museum. It won’t be so hot in area with no A/C, which is where my little work corner is.

[radu]

Well, I got up a couple of times to watch lightning but if there were bolts coming down to admire, trees blocked the view. LOL! I finally stopped getting up and dropped off to sleep.

We didn’t expect to get as much rain as we have. Over 5.5 inches in 6 days. Some areas got a lot more and are dealing with flooding and we’re glad we missed out on that!

It won’t hurt the beans at all. They’re not close to harvest-ready yet.

[radu]

Boom

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Mooch...

[Kathy in Alaska]

d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s been a long week already, half way thru.

Hear!! Hear!!!

[luvie]

Wow! nearlly 6 inches. I’ll bet your lake is really brimming!

[radu]

I dumped the rain gauge at midnight and it had 2.75 inches in it. I crossed the lake on the way to town and it is definitely full right now.
This week has been a good bump for the water table and I reckon we won’t have to worry about our well running dry any time soon.

Guess I’d better head out. I want to get up in time to watch the hearing tomorrow and need to get the “cat stuff” done so I can hit the sack. Catch ya tomorrow.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's every doing this morning?

[luvie]

G'nite then. I don't know if I'll have the "guts" to watch that circus. But the newest thing that I heard from FoxNews made me LOL...for real! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I did have a little recliner-and-blankie time. I fell asleep and knew I needed to get a thread ready for tomorrow night. Had to get up. LOL! Last night was really short...3 hours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness, Meg...what a wonderful picture! ((HUGS))
