TODAYS SEAT TIME

[Oldpath05]

Nope. That's the low-hanging cloud along the base of the mountain. No smoke out of the Kubota!

I have 36 trees around the place that I've planted. Problem with them is that they need water and out here Mother Nature doesn't provide enough water to keep most trees alive. So during the summer/early fall I have to water ~ 6 hours a day and that costs a lot of money. Any less than that and the trees start dropping leaves. It's what 6% humidity does for you...that mud I was mowing in yesterday is the cloud of dust I was mowing in today. Heck, the air is so dry that I can hang a load of jeans out on the line to dry and by the time the next load of laundry is done 45 minutes later those jeans will be bone dry.

You mean you never have 60-70-90% humidity out there? Those numbers are very common here from July-September, the one reason I hate summer, some days are unbearable, trees, gardens and mosquitoes like it though.

Yeah, with no rain all the trees are shedding their leaves big time, I have to mow (read vacuum here)every other day to keep the leaves out of my pool!

Supposed to be 98 here tomorrow (81 is the norm for this time of year) 95 Friday and 77 Saturday!! YAY YAY!! About time fall showed up! Still a bit till I fire up the stove though.

On a completely different subject: Do you know where Rainbow lake is? I won a trip there in my youth selling newspaper subscriptions.

My brother lives <30 miles from the SC boarder (he is barely in NC) he told me the same about his pool/leaves . . . I had too laugh at him (he does have a beautiful place) but my pond is self cleaning I told him, creek in creek out :laughing:

We had a good frost last night. Now I can pick my Brussels sprouts and feed the rest to the pigs.

Where abouts? I'm about the same distance from the NC border..

Yep, I have a couple ponds also, we like swimming in the pool better though.. I save the ponds for fishing..

I don't understand, you guys have 98* and get sick of it. We have 30* below and just can't get enough of it....:laughing:

That’s because we get to put up wood in the summer, then enjoy burning it all winter.




Or maybe we’re just gluttons for punishment.

Wow, we'll be lucky to get in the upper 60's. That's perfect though, I'm putting down 5500 square feet of sod today. Yaaaa no more mud.:laughing:
