It was 90 on Thursday, but it rained and then snowed yesterday. It's melting today and I'm sure it will be 90 again soon.

Strange weather all over. Hot and gorgeous all day....now a bad t-storm! Winds at least 45+, rain hard! Just " out of nowhere" kind of thing. They say rains next few hours. Eased up in last few min after an hour of bad stuff. 
. Waiting it out, of course...like what else can you do.

DD works at Lowes that's 7 miles away. She says it did a whole lot of damage to their garden center. Probably a closed area for a while from structural damage to the frame system out there. It was a whirlwind event! 
. About 7:45 so, getting dark when it roared in. Guess I'll be looking for stuff in the morning 
calm out there now.

Storm here, it’s gone through, got lots of lightening. I’ve been waking up all night. Wide awake now. Do I want to get up and make coffee? Or try to go back to sleep?
Yesterday evening I put up a shelter for my 3 new ewes. I took a panel from a horse round pen, leaned it against the fence and put a small tarp over it. That scared them silly, they busted through the gate and ran around the pasture. I lured them back with feed.

Wet out. Overcast now, sun later, then prob rain....again at dark. Cold front arriving And wants to spend the week! 
so, mid 70s and scattered rain every day. Can't catch a break. All that fresh tilled garden soil...now the grasses cut up will want to keep growing -- well 
-- doesn't feel fair! Haven't been out yet to see if anything to take care of from the storm. Slept poorly. Coffee first. Be strong!

Allergies had me up half the night. They really were bad for some reason. No wind or bad weather here. Don't think we got anything. Sorry for your area @Mini Horses; hope it did not do too much damage there at your place. Once they get some things put back together at Lowe's I imagine they will have a discount "damage sale" on plants and such. Still tough on a business.

Easy if it was there when they bought the place. If it hasn't caused any problems, they have no need to know what is there.

My daughter and husband bought a concrete house in Corpus Christi, built in late 1950’s. The septic system was clay pipe that went to 2 concrete culverts with no bottom.
