new filter but rain delay I guess for the whole weekend .Give me time to figure out the whole thing

 

[sissy]

pond is almost at flood stage with all the rain we got last night and lotus pond is already there .300 gallon stock tank was only half full and now almost getting there and it is only 10 am and whole day of rain ahead and 150 gallon stock tank was empty yesterday

 

[j.w]

Well didn't you say you would like some rain?
You got it and free water for everything

 

[sissy]

I just wish it was more often we would get it not all at 1 time .The plants need it bad and I guess the rain gods know when I start a new project

 

[sissy]

filter is started but not gonna get done to soon .We need the rain so I don't mind .But things are not getting done so I will full behind again in the rest of the work

 

[j.w]

Can't do anything about the rain so guess just sit and enjoy it giving free water to you

 

[sissy]

Yep we need it so I have plenty of other things to do .Finished another basket and cleaned up the mess I made in the basement .But after awhile you get chilly and damp down there .Pulled the hose to leave some of the water out of the pond .The filter stuff is getting washed by the rain .I sat out on the porch with the dogs for awhile .Our wells need this rain

 

[j.w]

We will be getting the rain back here for a few days w/thunder/lightning so they say. Right now sitting here wearing a shirt I just rinsed under the faucet. It is my air conditioning. Well whatever works to keep ya cool!

 

[sissy]

They said a thunder storm for tonight but so far only rain and the same tomorrow .Grass is getting green again and trees and flowers are loving it .

 

[j.w]

Was 96 around here yesterday and our grass is fried. Today more lightning coming which could mean fires in local areas. Hate to say this but we could use some wet stuff. I'm watering the plants and some trees but this is getting old. Still love the sunshine but not quite so hot. If I wanted this much heat I'd move to Africa

 

[sissy]

yeh they said you were getting a heat wave .got 6 new banana babies

 

[j.w]

They are multiplying just like mine. Every year they die to the ground unless we have a really mild winter then they only die part way. Then they come back in the Spring w/ lots of babies. We will be overrun w/ plants soon. Right now I can barely see out my computer window. I don't mind tho cuz it makes me feel like I'm in the jungle.
