This is now two summers in a row with hardly any real heat, outside of the mid June heatwave this year (and that, too, underperformed). Impressive considering the strong signal for a broiling summer this year. Yeah no real complaints here from a temperature perspective, it's been great! The excessive rain got to be very annoying, but even then that stopped about a month ago. The last month has been one of the better month-long summer stretches in a while it feels like. And the fact is we could go another 2-3 weeks of this at least considering this is pretty much the average kind of weather for September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Now that we use Excess Heat Warnings commonly for heat waves. Maybe we should add another warning: Incineration Warning for temps above 100. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 With the leaf drop soon to happen, and the excellent drying conditions, I sealed the driveway for the year, yesterday. It was starting to flake off in chunks and needed to be sealed before the rains start and so not stop again. I do not care what they advertise, 3 years or 5 years, they only last one year before planned obsolescence occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally have it done already but I was away over 7 weeks this summer. I need to get that planned!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to only do it every three years or so, but I just do it every year now and don't have to use a much sealer on each coat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I took some pictures yesterday and I found a vine that had a pale flower that looks like oats or hops. Does anybody know what it is? thankfully, the snake I saw was a lot less dangerous than the time I almost stepped on a rattlesnake in the Rocky Mountains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyweather Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Looks like common hop. Common hop is a vine that’s native here in N. IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
