Hi Rick - How's it going out there in Chicagoland? They call it the 'windy city'.. Did you get ice or snow there? We got snow and a lot of it - over a foot already and it's still coming down.. I heard up to 16 inches.. You'll have to come and rescue me.. lol.. I like snow, but this is a bit overdone..Something screwy is happening in the atmosphere to cause all these wild weather patterns.. I have some salty pumpkin seeds- a 32 ounce bag.. I got them from Walmart about a month ago, but found out I don't want them now.. Don't know what to do with them.. Did you ever try pumpkin seeds? ME
Currently 22..snow, sleet and freezing rain fell over night. More freezing rain is to come later today. But we still have power. Tomorrow 40 and sunny..low 9 degrees..so the roads will be a mess for a while.
Hi Ric.How’s it going your way?. anything interesting happening?, It’s late afternoon here and the temp is still over 104f it almost hit 106f earlier. By Monday the prediction is around 111f and not much lower until the end of the week. There was a vehicle fire on the main highway just south of here this morning that spread into the paddocks. Thanks to the water bombers and local fire crews they finally got it under control. The fire wasn’t all that far from where my daughter lives.
It’s the Australia Day holiday weekend with many celebrations and activities on across the country. Needless to say I won’t be venturing out.
I watered areas of the back garden this morning and will set the sprinkler on the front garden around sunset time. Give it a good soaking. I have a thick mulch to keep the moisture in to help in the heat. Also have a Bird bath filled with water that keep them happy along with the bees and other insects. Enjoy the weekend Ric. Take care.
