Careful Out there as it is "Just Nice" here and getting Ready to Mow Some 
I'll be mowing A LOT soon. Going to get into the 90's and sunny this weekend! That will make the grass grow!!
I was wondering why the TV kept beeping with a tornado watch, and no dark clouds to be seen in the sky...
Well it is missing us to the north, but I bet @zannej will be dancing soon

Well, actually…I can deal with it up into the high 90s here and even the low 100s. Pearl and I live less than an hour from each other. I used to live in the MidAtlantic states, cold, snow, ice, hot, humid, all of it. Here the extreme is the long summer, May-late September. We get snow and ice too.
Ain't Texas weather fun?!
Rained last night, into the entire morning ... then the high winds came. Got a break just after noon, then off and on.
I particularly love the thunder and lightning storms ... never seen anything like it, ever.

Fantastic light show on the back patio, and endless loud booms
.Fortunately, it was fast moving. Only 1.01" of rain in an hour.
Remember, I'm originally a Jersey Girl!! I LOVED WINTER, snow and ice! Then I came to Texas as a teenager, it was April and 98°!! I fell in love!! Last summer's 110-114° was ALL ME! I can't explain why!!

If your joints hurt when you are cold, and hurt less the hotter you get, guess how hot you like it?
Damhot!!!

I just got a text message from our member Zanne. They just had a hailstorm come through their property, and this is what she wrote...
Power is out here and a tree is on the road over the lines so we are stranded but we're ok. Brother got stuck in town bc of the tree so it's just mom and I out here. Bro is trying to contact power company to tell them about the tree. I have to go outside to send these messages. No signal inside.
She said her mom is ok with plenty of provisions.

Girl. I never forget that. You, me and @Tommyice are sisters. fyi i've been in TX for 15 yrs. Said nope, not staying here! But there is definitely something about this state that gets to ya in a good way.Remember, I'm originally a Jersey Girl!! I LOVED WINTER, snow and ice! Then I came to Texas as a teenager, it was April and 98°!! I fell in love!! Last summer's 110-114° was ALL ME! I can't explain why!!
A quick call to the Southern Baptists, and they would send a chain saw crew and take care of what is needed. That group is awesome!
I might visit there some day but I don't think I would ever leave the this side of the Mississippi to live. I love my seasonal changes too much. Especially Autumn. The smell of the dying leaves (sometimes secretly burning them), the crispness of the air, the crunching sound the leaves make when you walk on them. The coziness of a thick, flannel shirt/jacket. The witch hazel blooming in the woods after everything else starts their slumber. The quiet, peacefulness of a gentle snowfall.
The most important reason--nothing that is poisonous sneaking into your shower with you or slithering around in the yard.
I'm glad she contacted you!!
And glad they are safe! Thanks for letting us know!!
Quiet sunny day today, 80°! Hope we can start drying out!!
Lots of Dampness Outside...!!! Plants Are Loving it...!!
Rainy, upper 60s, sticky humid
More from Z girl..
Power is still out but they said crews have been dispatched and I can hear chainsaws in the distance
It was the loggers out cutting. They aren't supposed to be on the roads within 24 hours of rain but they cut a path so they could get to work.
Eta on restoration in town Was 5pm.
Mom still fine.
