The Weather.

We haven't had any major amounts of rain in at least 5 weeks(upstate New York). It doesn't look like the next week will be much different. It seems that most Americans here are going through the same problem.
 
Five weeks is nothing, unfortunately. Here in the Grain Belt, we're experiencing the worst drought in fifty years.

Alert for all of you: food prices are going to be going up dramatically.
 
It had been pretty dry here for awhile but we had two days with good soaking rain...enough to get water in the basement. :stinkeye: A case of too much all at once.
 
Can I dislike the last three posts? :down:
Droughts, rising food costs, and a flood in Karen's basement are not cool! :mad:
 
^ I know! It's hot and sunny here today. I had every intention of going to see the Olympic torch but I couldn't be arsed in the end.:p

It's only 9:30 >.< It's been SO muggy lately, you know how the air gets so thick and hot it makes it "hard" to breathe? Feels like trying to breathe under a thick blanket. Blargh.
 
Excessive heat warning here has been extended through Wednesday.

I managed to not leave the house at all yesterday, but have to venture out to get food for the rabbits today. :down:
 
It has been the most gorgeous weather-weekend so far this summer.:woo:
 
On Saturday, a strong, windy thunderstorm took down a big branch from the huge live oak in the backyard. The branch was healthy, covered in leaves and acorns; it just looked snapped off. :eek:

Scary! I'm glad it didn't fall on your house, your car or someone in the yard!

Thanks! Luckily, none of the really big branches are over the house or driveway. It happened during a storm, and though my teenage son loves storms, he was not out there. And my dog is afraid of rain. :rolleyes:
