Nice tomatoes! My two store bought are doing okay and my roma seedlings are coming along...if they can survive the pup. She is a plant assassin.

Originally we had rain in the forecast starting today but they've been moving it ahead every day. Now it's Saturday. I don't have much faith....

60 today and 66 tomorrow. Good!!  They finally turned the heat back on at work Tuesday in our building. But not in our end of the building which has a separate heating system than the main part. It was 54 in there yesterday morning. Worker harder...faster....stay warmer!!

I'll give you some heat if you'll send me some cool....

They've reduced our Saturday chance of rain to 20% from 50% BUT they've jacked Monday up to 70%. Like that means something.

Mine is very dry and I broke two sprinker heads when I mowed last weekend and can't water. It's just gonna have to wait until Saturday when I get resupplied from Lowes.

And still maybe some rain this weekend/Monday. Some west of us just a bit, could even smell it but nothing for us.

Oh...maybe you should have used the rock-mower instead of the sprinkler-head mower?? Wink

Haha, it was in the "good" part of the yard and I doubt the rock mower would know what to do on real grass. Last time I looked at the blade it reminded me of a comb.

Hail yes!

2-4 feet is a lot of hail.

That could have done in the cotton crop but for the fact that it's not even planted yet.  That's plumb extreme!
Speaking of extreme I was watching the weather portion of the evening's local TV news and found to my surprise that yesterday there was a small EF-0 tornado about ten miles east of me.  I didn't even have a sprinkle here.  Had some cool air drift in but no threatening weather that I saw.  EF-0 isn't too potent - 65 to 85mph winds but enough to knock over trees.  Might hurt your roof.

Welcome to spring. I watched a deal on tv today about the EF5 that hit Joplin last year. Just wow.

Oh hail!  Wow...heck of a video and weather. Sure glad I didn't get caught in something like that. Sounds like a real brain-beater.

Oh...CBS News had a segment on tonight about the Bluebonnet explosion in Texas this spring. Real pretty.

Nature is just a wonder.  Seeds and other things wait until conditions are right and they then jump out and thrive.  My daughter's family had an intermittant pond on their land in West Texas and when a rainy season Bullfrogs would hatch out by the megaumpteens.  The pond could dry up and stay dry for years but next wet spell, if it filled the pond the Bullfrogs would repeat the cycle.  Just amazing.

That 70% change of rain on Monday? Just gone out of the forecast like it was never there.

Rats.

Well. That's not very encouraging:

We have the possibility in our forecast. Didn't look it up but the worse I can recall was in Ft. Worth, probably in May 1993. IIRC 120 were killed. It was brutal.

I checked a later weather story and apparently it's much father west of us..Kansas/Oklahoma.  Not sure how they get "Midwest" out of that. (At least not in the historical context.) Don't wish it (hail) on anybody...but a relief for here.

Whatever comes...I did my dirty work tonight. Mowed. Tilled in the rest of the compost I'd picked up last night. So....rain or shine whatever will be can be.

That area of concern is really the Plains states.  Definitions of the Midwest have always been confusing to me.  Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska in this particular warning.  Our local weather guy is starting to get a little more insistent that we might get some aftermath Sunday evening, not nearly as severe but possible high winds, rain, small chance of tornados.

Midwestern United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North-South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas  definitely not.

Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri....barely.

Which leaves Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana. Ohio is thought of as more "eastern" due to big cities and left-leaning politics. Illinois has turned into a liberal cesspool.  Wisconsin has gone over to the dark side with union ran government and Michigan...well, Michigan is Detroit.  Which actually leaves Indiana as the only true remaining MidWest state.

No rain but we have wind. A wind advisory until 7 pm tonight.

And I do finally have a small tomato on the celebrity. Now to see if it can survive the plant assassin.

Some of the canas are blooming already but those flowers are proving to be a target rich environment. It's s'ok, it's what pups do....attack EVERYTHING.
