Just taking a peak at things--it's really neat to see how much the rate of shortening days grows. We've only lost 12 minutes of daylight since the solstice. Between now and the end of the month (21 days), we'll lose another 35. That in of itself makes whatever warmth or humidity that might be in store easier to take.
I'm so excited.
We did the same. I think we got a Red Sunset, but it might be an October Glory--forgot what we went with. I do know we got it at about 15', I'm eager for it to get another 5-8 to better block the neighbors. I guess that'll be 2-4 years of growing.
For those keeping track, we've lost 9 minutes of daylight since the solstice, and beginning tomorrow we're losing more than a minute/day.
Tick, tick, tick.
Kind of boring, but here’s the rain coming off the roof during the deluge.
Edit.....just played it with the sound on. Makes for a better appreciation (along with a flash and rumble of thunder).
I'm guessing it will have been easier to walk around to look for the strikes at the old Pit than it will be here. Not sure folks want me trapsing through their yards.
Nearly constant thunder and lots of lightning---unfortuately it's all emanating from the SW which would miss me. The rain on the other hand will not.
And just like that--had a nice strike nearby.
Out near Hubby.
At 405 PM EDT, severe thunderstorms were located along a line
extending from Shirley to near New Braintree, moving east at 10
mph. These storms downed two trees in Gardner.
Lots of thunder and darkening sky here at the Pit. Here's to hoping.
