mappy

thats why you stay here. until storm mode is declared, the main thread will be hit/miss. doesn't help that NE weenies are hoping this thing comes up the coast and hits them.

We have a hummingbird feeder closer to the house. lots of red throats around earlier in the spring. and I always thought it was 4:1 ratio?

pretty sure he sold that already

hey! thanks for the reply! we are good, hope you and the family are well too! So, to be honest, I'm just lazy hahaha. I get so excited to grow a veggie garden every year, and it does well, but then halfway through the season i just stop checking it as often and it gets overgrown and then i'm just like "f-it". so i thought maybe for next year to grow a butterfly garden instead. we have bee balm and other flowers near the house that attract lots of nectar loving animals, but i have a really great space in the yard i can contain really well and would hate for it to not be utilized. and who doesn't love butterflies!? appreciate your list of suggestions! i'll have to remember to check back next year when the time comes to get the garden ready.

so I'm thinking next year i will forego the veggie garden and just make an annual butterfly garden. i have a 10x10 space to work with. suggestions on what i can plant?

I understand how Stephens City feels now. Tumbleweeds everywhere.

i have forgotten what a storm is like. its been a 84 years...

after almost 10 inches of rain in July, I'm at .37 for August. Haven't had measurable rain since the 14th.

yup. you will need to delete some previous attachments to make space for new ones. have fun, its a pain as you cannot select more than one at a time to delete, and then once you do the page refreshes and takes you back to page 1 of however many. super annoying.

thanks for this, can you next time make it smaller and easier on the eyes.

just sheets of rain. street lights on

i haven't looked at radar but it went from sunny to very dark very fast here.

bout to get rocked me thinks. just had a very large bolt drop down to my east ahead of the warned storm.

thanks guys, SPC tweeted it. their site was loading stupidly.

not showing up

YES! midnight madness at cole field house was the best. i miss that place, it was so wonderful. I went every year before moving away to college. I think my mom has a piece of the floor. She's a super duper over the top MD fan.

complete whiff yesterday as storms popped up along the outflow boundary, but overhead. severe storm formed a mile or so to my north into PA. was treated to long rumbles of thunder but not a drop of rain. oh well.

i saw

oh but he does, he chases snowstorms. don't let his talk about not loving winter the same way convince you he is not a snow weenie like the rest of us.

i'm so glad you still post here.

great write up!

my garden is full speed ahead with giant phallic cucumbers

not yet! get me through September and then i will be ready.

STOP IT

great pic!
