03-28-12 Well, actually, the temperatures have pretty much stayed hot around here. Some less hot last week but we haven't had anything resembling winter for a while. We finally cut off the pilot light and circuit breakers for the heater since we haven't used it in a month. It gets up to upper 80's during the day and upper 50's at night. So, however warm it gets during the day keeps us warm enough at night. 03-05-12 Didn't even hardly get any rain. It went barely north and the other part went barely south. The worst was north but the area didn't get the bad tornadoes (I don't think we got any) and only some hail. Right here at our house, we got some short what I call spring showers. Not enough to hardly register in the rain gauge. Less than 20 miles away, they got about an inch. Actually, last Friday, we set a new record for the high. It was 82. Our temperatures at night are up and down. One morning we woke up and it was 68 at 7am. The next morning, it was 40. Our high today was supposed to be 63 according to the news last night. Well, it was 44 when we went to bed and 50 when we got up. We have a minimum/maximum thermometer on the deck. It reads 53 at 2am. Since we got up the temperature has gone down 5 degrees but they say this afternoon it will be 55 (but last night they said it would be 63). I am about to give up on forecasts. 02-04-12 78 degrees is a little bit higher than we have had. Yesterday was supposed to be rain all day and high in the upper 60's. Well, we had drizzle most of the day and 55. Today, it is supposed to be 69 and rain all day and most of the night. It is 60 and it has mostly drizzled today. So much for accurate forecasting. 02-02-12 All this weather keeps coming through but the most we usually get lately is 1/2". Some storms last night but they veered just enough to go south of us and north of us. We heard a couple of good rolls of thunder and some rain. That was it. Other places got hail and 70 mph winds. The weather has been really warm. Like upper 60's. The heater has stayed off. This is really weird for us and a little scary. I keep thinking that when winter does finally get here, we are going to get clobbered. The trees are already budding out. This has happened before although not so early in the season and then we got a hard freeze. It messed up the plum, peach and pear trees. 01-20-12 We got to the low 60's yesterday and sun most of the day. Today, it will get warmer and then the rain chances come back followed by cooler weather. 01-12-12 We have had some rain. 2" on Saturday and 1" Tuesday. Today, a front is coming through and they were talking rain/snow mix at last report. High was at midnight last night. Tonight we are expecting 20's in Memphis which means teens here. Glad for no snow. Wish we could get some good sunshine. Ours is actually typical winter weather. If it warms up, it rains and then it gets cold again. Most of the time that is. Works out okay. Me, personally, I like cold weather and I don't mind rain but I don't want them on the same day. 12-28-11 We are having cool weather after getting about an inch of rain Monday night and Tuesday morning. It is supposed to start warming up but right now it is 26 with a forecast high of 51. We should be at 60 by Friday. Hope that includes some sun. We had enough overcast and rain to last for a bit. 12-09-11 It got up 52 today. Sun, wind and no rain. This morning when we got up (3:30am), it was 25. The forecast for Memphis tonight is 27 and we are usually about 10 degrees cooler. The high forecast for tomorrow is 42. I am going to a craft show in Como (small town a little south). I'll see how it turns out. They have some kind of music festival downtown. The show is inside so maybe people will want to come in to get out of the weather. Hope. Hope. 12-08-11 We are finished with the rain/snow/freezing fog for a few days I hope. Only getting up to 49 today but that was better than the 35 yesterday. The sun is out for the first time since Saturday. Love it. 12-01-11 Well, I hope it warms up here. Right now (6am), it is 22 degrees in the backyard. The forecast was 30 and it is 37 in Memphis. The sun is supposed to come out and maybe we will get to the low 60's on Saturday. The station we watch has all these awards that they are the correct the most of the local weather forecasts but that is really bad since they are wrong a LOT for us. 10-31-11 It was 33 when we left the house on Saturday morning. 10-21-11 It is almost 7am and 31 outside. Our first official freeze (at least here, the weather station is warmer). 10-19-11 Well, we got the cold front yesterday. Not much wind, drizzled all day. Don't think we got much rain though. We broke a record high on Sunday but it was only 87. Monday afternoon it was 85, Tuesday afternoon, it was 46. It was supposed to get down to 41 last night but we only got to 44. A little cool. We are expecting frosts at least one of the next two nights. The forecasts are for 41 but we usually go about 10 degrees lower. We just lit the heater last night. First time we have used any heat. 09-13-11 We had less than 1/10th of rain Saturday. That is it. But, at least our temperatures are back down into the upper 90's and some really cool nights (48 anyone). Up and down like normal for this time of year. That Tropical Storm Lee gave us a whopping 3/4". I had heard that Texas is in the worst drought in over 50 years. After what we saw when we down to CC in July, I can believe it. I really don't think ya'll are going to do any good until you get at least a tropical storm and that dumps way too much at one time. 09-05-11 Got 3/4" of rain but it took most of yesterday. We got some wind today but not any trouble. Our high today was 74. We only caught the edge of the rain and it wasn't too heavy obviously. We have the north winds also. 08-09-11 We made it to 99 yesterday. Some clouds and rain around us. This morning we woke up to light soaking rain which we need. (I know ya'll need the same but a lot more). We haven't had a lot of problems with bugs. Some fly problems last month but they seem to be gone. If you have Skin-so-Soft bath oil, dab it around your door and any openings. The flying insects don't like the smell. 06-19-11 The humidity is normally in the 70's. Temperatures are getting down. They have been upper 90's+ during the day. Upper 70's at night lately. They are talking cold front right now and so we are looking at rain chances and upper 80's during the day. 06-05-11 There has been quite a bit of rain in this area but none here. We spent one night listening to all the tornado warnings and how we would get 3-4" of rain and it all went either north or south of us and we could almost count the number of drops that hit the deck roof (metal). We are watering. We got a lot of rain earlier this year but now we have the upper 90's and 100's and so the water is drying up pretty good. It is wet and humid in the mornings but that doesn't do much good. 05-13-11 (I asked if they had any problems with all the flooding...)The guys had to take a long scenic route to get home one day but that is all. Our pond got 18" in a couple of days if you can imagine. Lot of low areas with water that didn't have them before but it is a ways away from us. 04-28-11 We got quite a bit of rain. At least 8" in 2 1/2 days. The rain gauge leaks so I don't know how much exactly but it brought the pond up about 18" and that included spreading it bank to bank. Hasn't been that full in a couple of years. We didn't have damage except for some small dead limbs that came down. The nasty stuff went around us both directions. Thank Goodness. I have seen some nasty pictures of the damages. We think we have had enough rain to last a while. For the last few weeks we have been getting at least 1 1/4" a week and then, of course, this week. Jan and Rob had to take a very long way home yesterday. Usually takes them 45 minutes. Took them 2 hours. They still have to go a long way today because the main road is closed. It crosses a river that drains a very Large area and it is flooding still. 04-16-11 All the storms that have been through this week have gone around us as far as dangerous weather. We lost some small limbs one day and the guys left for work late yesterday but only got about 2" of rain total out of both systems. 04-14-11 We had a lot of warning about bad weather and then when it hit, it was nothing but some rain. Now they are talking rain tomorrow. We shut the heater down last week and now it is cool at night and warm during the day (81 yesterday). We are expecting it to be cool on Saturday but then warm up again. Hopefully, it will not be too cool. I don't want to use the heater again. Also, Saturday is the open house day at the local feed store/hardware store/greenhouse and I want to get some plants for this year. I have had enough of low 40's at night. 04-04-11 We are waiting for a line of thunderstorms followed by a front. High of 76 today, low tonight 37. Don't know how much rain but may be some hail and high winds. Around here, anything 45 and above is a high wind. 03-31-11 The time does slip away. We are doing the spring/winter dance right now. Some days it is up to almost 80 and we think okay, spring is here. And then the next week we have the dreary 40's and we gripe about the weather forecaster that said the sun would be out 03-07-11 Warmer days but still cold nights. Had some heavy rain Friday night and we are expecting more tomorrow (Tuesday). 02-04-11 ... We have been getting up to barely 33 for a few minutes each day. It is around 23 at night. I am staying in mostly. I go to let the ducks out and tend to Smokey. He stays in his house unless the sun is out (doesn't matter the temperature, only that the sun is shining. The ducks think this is fine unless the pond freezes. Then they get upset and go back into their pen. We did put a tarp over half of their pen when the heavy (7") snow came in January. Now they like the tarp because it keeps the sun off them...... The weather is supposed to warm up tomorrow (mid 40's). We are getting some sleet right now and then snow(1-2") later. Not much snow but it will probably be on a layer of ice. Wish no one had to drive in it. I did learn before to walk in the snow when I had to go outside. Better traction than ice. 01-29-11 Hope ya'll have had some decent weather. We had 74 today and lots of sunshine. We have had a lot of sun the last couple of days. We enjoyed it and guess we will have to store the memory since we are forecast to have rain for the next three days. 01-25-11 OK, let's recap on the snow. Two weeks ago Sunday night, we got 7". That finally melted off last Tuesday. On Thursday afternoon and evening we had rain then sleet briefly and then 1" of snow and then it went down to 20 overnight. It melted off Friday but we were frozen in for that day. They worked on Saturday. Now, we are told that we may get up to 3" of snow tonight. Originally, the forecast was for 1/2" maybe, then it changed yesterday to 1" maybe and now they are saying 1-3" tonight. We haven't seen the sun to speak of in almost two weeks. So far, the guys are short two days of work (made one of them up on Saturday). The main problem being that our driveway ices over and our hill is not too pleasant since it is so steep and in the shade. Yes we are tired of snow. After the snow, we also have the problem of slick mud which doesn't help driving on our road. After we get off our road, it is usually fairly good. But, we are 7 miles from a "secondary" road where they put down salt brine or clay/rock combinations. 01-20-11 Tuesday all of our snow/ice finally melted off during the misting rain. . Wet as all get out and muddy but anyhow. Now, we are expecting rain, then sleet (weatherman thinks the sleet is better than the rain???) and then 1-3" of snow but snow will fall in a short period of time. It has been okay. Not enough sunshine for me. Got up to 50 yesterday but looked dreary all day. If we are lucky, it will get above freezing tomorrow. I am glad I don't have to drive somewhere to work but I worry about the guys. This mess is supposed to hit while they are at work. Smokey thinks the weather is pretty much okay. He didn't like the snow too much but he got out. He took his naps in the doghouse. But, when the snow was off his pile of leaves and the sun came out (34), he took his nap in the leaves. I think he dislikes the mud more than the ice/snow.01-11-11 Well, we got it. It was 21 yesterday morning and we had 7" of snow. Rob and Jan tried to get out but couldn't get halfway down the driveway. We tried later and didn't get as far. We had sleet before the snow started. Today it was 31 when we got up and I think that will be our high. Tomorrow's high is forecast for 28 and we will be in the teens or lower for the next three nights. We may try some shoveling. The main roads are better but not great. People are driving on them and not being too careful so we hear about the wrecks of course. 01-09-11 Happy New Year...... We are waiting for the mess to hit us. Nice weather for a couple of days and now it is hitting the fan. After today, we will be above freezing one day this week and into the single digits at night probably. They are forecasting 4-6" of snow and this time everyone is taking it seriously. Roads are sprayed with brine. Grocery stores are packed. I had three things to pick up while in town. Boy, was that a mess. Didn't try W-M but I imagine they were worse. Today will be more hay for Smokey and we are finally putting a tarp on the duck pen. They like protection from wind and sun. Just looked outside and it is 23 and Smokey is sleeping outside on the pile of leaves. Haven't looked at the ducks but usually they are sitting on top of the frozen water in their pool. 09-29-10 We are having nice weather. 50's at night, 70's during the day. Lower humidity. A/C is off and of course, the heater is off. Great for the utility bill. Windows open airing out the house. All the good stuff. They are forecasting 52 for Monday night in Memphis and that probably means low 40's for us. Interesting. 09-09-10 Weather here has cooled down but no rain. In the last 2 months we have gotten about 1" of rain. In 1/4" and smaller increments. The garden did okay but a lot of watering going on. Temperatures are finally getting down to 2 digits. We had over 100 for something like 3-4 weeks. Not normal for us. The nighttime temps are dipping also. We actually had a low last week of 48. Couple of days with the windows open. We could do with more of those. Less a/c. We won't discuss the electric bill. All the animals are okay. They are all happier since it is getting cooler. The pond is down quite a bit but still plenty for the ducks to play in. They are molting right now so they all get along. 08-08-10 We are very hot here also. Most afternoons it has been hitting 100 or more. Yesterday was the exception. No rain but overcast. We got 8/10" rain the other day. Other people had more. The Farmer's Market was overcast and breezy for most of the time. Glad there wasn't rain. I started going to another Farmer's Market about 40 miles away. Heard it was very good EXCEPT for the two weeks I have been there. It is on a blocked off street. Last week, the heat index was over 120. Might be better when the weather improves. I hope so. But, I have decided that if it is that hot again this week, I'll not go. The customers just don't show up. We don't expect any good cooling (like maybe lower 90's) until at least a couple of weeks. Of course, the unexpected rain sometimes has unexpected results. The 8/10" lowered out temperatures by 25 degrees. Of course, it came up a bit but it was late in the afternoon so it didn't go up much until the next day. 07-08-10 We have had off and on really HOT weather and humidity. Much hotter than normal. This week they are forecasting possibilities of rain but we haven't gotten any of it yet. The biggest chance is tomorrow and I hope we get it then and not on Saturday. Don't need any slow days at the farmer's market. 06-06-10 We haven't gotten a lot of rain although it looks like we will today. Big Time. Mostly just afternoon pop-up showers in the area lately. Just barely enough so I don't have to water the garden. It has been hot (upper 90's) and humid. Not my favorite weather. 04-28-10 Did you get anything from those storms that came through? We just got rain and some wind. Nothing damaged. Stuck us in Friday evening and all daylight on Saturday. 04-22-10 We had early very warm weather so everyone is kind of off kilter as far as gardens go. We are having nice weather. A little chilly at night but the heater has been off for a couple of weeks and we just do it until the sun comes out and warms us up. We are expecting thunderstorms this weekend. They can't agree on when they will be here. We have mostly dried out so I guess it will work. We had a VERY wet spring. 03-30-10 We are having some nice weather. High 60's and now up to the high 70's before the weekend. But, it was 33 when we got up this morning. Lots of sun which really helps the moods. 03-23-10 We had some rainy weather on Sunday/Monday (1 1/2" plus a few LARGE snowflakes). Today, it is beautiful. Low 70's, lots of sun and very little wind. Makes you want to just garden all day. Unfortunately, we still have about a month to go before we are reasonably sure we won't get a freeze. We got some wind from the rain storm but no twisters and no damage around here. Friends had the tarp top of one of their chicken pens taken off. It is hanging on one side. Luckily, the pens are empty right now. 03-21-10 We had decent weather last week (especially the end of it) but that has quit now. It is raining. Started last night and will continue until a probable snow/sleet mix early tomorrow morning. Along with freezing temperatures. I hope the new strawberry plants will be okay. 03-08-10 We are (at least for now) out of the nasty weather. It has been up into the 50's/60's the last few days. Lots of sun. Unfortunately, until yesterday lots of wind but it was nice enough yesterday to open a couple of the windows. I have enjoyed hanging out stuff and had two whole days to wash everything on the beds. But it is still in the 30's at night. I really am tired of waking up to the central unit running. Jan is the one that gets cold. Rob and I like to sleep in the cold. Rob gets to leave his vent closed or partially closed. I just don't use as much covers. Oh, yes to the lower electric bill. We filled up with propane last month. Hopefully, the last time before next winter. 02-10-10 We had a snowprize on Monday morning. Wasn't supposed to get anywhere near us but we woke up to 4" of snow. Monday was a stay at home, Rob couldn't work, etc. The ducks were not sure at first but they got over it. They landed on the ice last week so I guess they were just being cautious but when I let them out instead of flying out and landing in the pond, they ran up to the edge and then ran around to a sloping area before they got in. Then they were okay. Smokey thought everything was just fine as long as the sun came out. 01-31-10 Well, we warmed up today. A high of 44. Pretty good since the forecast was for 32. It is now 26 but should warm up good again tomorrow. We will have freezing temps every night but the days should be more normal. When we woke up this morning, the pond was frozen over (a result of an overnite temp of 16). And, we had a couple of geese walking on it. The sun was out. I let the ducks out. It was sooooo funny. They usually fly over to the pond or at least flap their wings to run faster. Well, the ones that flew landed on the ice and slid. They thought it was water. Then they took a couple of steps and the ice broke so they were in the water. Eight in one little area and one hen got stuck off about 4' in her own little pond. She eventually got over to the rest of them. The ice wasn't that think but it took a little. As they were out playing around they made their little pond bigger and the sun helped. Jan went out and broke the ice around the edge and especially where their pond was closest to the bank. They managed to clear out that little channel and went flying out of the water. By the time I put them up they had been swimming around all over. Between them pushing on it and the sun, the pond was mostly clear by 5pm(that is when I put them up). With the sun out today, we finally realized that we had ice on our trees. They looked like someone had strung Christmas lights on them. Not enough ice to do damage, just enough to get you wet if you stood under one today in the sun. Early in the day: We got the system that came across ya'll (at least that is what it looked like). Luckily, here at our house, we just got rain all day yesterday but the temperature didn't go below 33 until after midnight. Rob had to stay up at his girlfriend's parents house so he could get in and back to work. They kept him at work yesterday 6am 'til 9:15 pm and then he got to drive back to her house on slick roads. We had some slight snow flurries today and the temperature didn't get above 27. Tonight they are forecasting 14. Tomorrow 32 and then finally above freezing on Monday. 01-09-10 Yes we are getting the really COLD weather. The pond is frozen over and the ducks are NOT happy with that. I am keeping them in and bringing them buckets of water twice a day at least. Smokey is okay with this but he really doesn't understand why we aren't outside playing with him. We have had one low of 9, one of 10 and last night (Friday) it was 17. Was forecast to be 6. It made it up to 33 on Thursday for about 30 minutes but that is the only time it has been above freezing since Wednesday afternoon. Tomorrow we may be up to 33 again. Just depends. We got a lot of sunshine today and it made it up to 29. We are making good use of the fireplace and free wood. All the faucets are covered, the well has an insulated house and a light bulb burning. And we have left the water running. So far so good, no frozen pipes and the vehicles are doing okay. We had snow on Thursday.12-22-09 Having a "heat wave". It got up to 55 yesterday and they are talking 60 today with rain tonight and tomorrow. No white Christmas but that is okay with us. 11-23-09 We have had some slight frosts but the killing freeze was Thursday night. The predicted 37 for Memphis. They got hit with 30 and we got 25. Luckily I brought in everything we wanted in that evening. Some stuff I just got cuttings. Plants are way too big to bring in here. We have started using the fireplace. I know they say they aren't efficient but it is free wood and it keeps the house warm and even brings the temp up a few degrees. 11-08-09 We are having nice days and COLD nights. It is 36 right now but no freezes. The heater can stay off during the day and we just open the windows. No need for anything else. Of course, we have a slight wind tunnel because the dining room and living room windows are across from each other and they are north and south windows. But, they are forecasting 70's this weekend. And sunshine. Love the idea. Yes to the cold fronts. 10-28-09 We are having warmer weather temporarily. We had 1 3/4 inch of rain yesterday and today we are expecting lots of sun in preparation for 1-6" of rain Thursday and Friday. Our heater is still off (Jan cut the pilot even). We had to use it a couple of days but now we are okay for a few more days. May have to kick it over again this weekend. I was looking forward to a nice Saturday for the Farmer's Market but Jan now says the forecast is for rain Saturday morning and a high of 64. Not a good thing. We don't have a good crowd on the cloudy days and well, the rainy ones just shut me out completely. Last Saturday was bright and sunny although not really warm but we had a good crowd. 10-13-09 We are having drizzle all day today and possibly tomorrow and Thursday and the temps will be going down. We haven't used the heater yet but I did light the fireplace Saturday afternoon. The problem is the dampness. It is 73 but very damp ad that just permeates the house. We expect 30's on Thursday night. Saturday morning at the Farmer's Market will be interesting. 09-30-09 Glad you are getting cooler weather. We sure are. Yesterday morning it was 46 and this morning it is 47. The highs are barely in the 70's. Very nice. Jan doesn't care much for the cooler weather but I do. 09-23-09 We are having the drizzling weather. Lots of rainy days but not much rain. Seems to go around us on both sides. Our daytime temps haven't gotten as low as yours. Usually we stay in the low 70's. It is now officially fall so I guess it will get warm again. 09-13-09 We have had cooler weather and there is rain all around us but only got about 1/4" at the house. The high today was 79. Nice to leave the a/c off. 08-23-09 Hope you are having some nice weather. We sure are. Cool(60 at night and low 80's during the day), dry and breezy. The a/c is off and the windows are open and we can get some outside work done. Jan and his brother and a friend worked on sealing the leaks in the levee. Now, we will find out when it rains again if it worked. 08-21-09 Our weather has been fairly nice. Drier from a cool front. There was a lot of rain around but we didn't get very much of it. We are getting low 80's and 60's at night. Love leaving the windows open. For a couple of days, it was very humid and still but we have gotten past that. Very mild weather for August. I can handle the hot weather and even the humidity a lot better if we have some sort of wind. 08-13-09 We are having nice weather. Another "cool" front came through and dried things out. Not looking for rain for a while so I guess I will be watering this morning. Our highs are running low 90's. Right now(5am), it is 64 degrees. Sure is helping with our electric bill. 07-22-09 Well, we had a HIGH of 80 yesterday. It also rained from about 1pm until after 11pm. A couple of lulls but not much. Mostly drizzle but we know we got at least 2 1/4". I figure we will be steamy today but they say out high should only be 83. Then the temps will go up for the weekend. We haven't needed a/c since last Thursday and are not complaining a bit. 07-21-09 We have had a brief respite from the heat and the humidity since Friday. So nice. Then it rained this morning and I think the nice weather is over. 07-07-09 We have had a couple of nice days of cooler and drier. Actually we were able to leave the a/c off. 07-06-09 Belated Happy 4th. We had a quiet day. My Dad and stepmom were here. They just left this morning. I am still canning. Yesterday I put up some blackberry/elderberry jelly for them to take with them. No fireworks. It didn't rain until Sunday morning. 06-22-09 Today it was in the upper 90's AGAIN. At least the a/c is fixed. It is supposed to stay this hot with no chances for rain for at least a week. I really don't like hot weather. 06-17-09 A little warm around here (mid 90's and head index about 100) but we had 2 1/2 inches in three good rains from Friday to yesterday. There was some nasty weather around but we didn't get it. Some people had a small tornado dance around in their woods and pastures. A small town north of us had a somewhat larger tornado do a nasty dance through their town. 06-07-09 We have had wet spring which is helping everything to really be green. 05-22-09 When you got the 2 inches 2 weeks ago, we got 5 inches and we have had at least 2 since then. Now, things are drying but we are expecting rain from that tropical system in Florida. 05-16-09We got some cooler weather along with some rain. Not as much but still got about 1 1/2" in the last couple of days. I keep putting plants in and I don't have to water them in because it rains that evening or the next morning. I do my planting late afternoon or early evening. Have to do some more tomorrow morning. Our last count of tomato plants is 31. We ran out of canned tomatoes so I guess that is not out of line. 05-07-09 Well, we are expecting more rain this weekend but hopefully not as much as last weekend. We got over 5 inches from Friday night to Tuesday morning. Every thing is squishy. 05-01-09 We have been getting off and on drizzle the last couple of days. There was some large amounts of rain but they went north. We heard the thunder. Had to stop working on the porch because of the rain. 04-28-09 We got some misting rain but nothing heavy. Northeast of here a ways (up in AR), they got about 5 1/4". Actually we don't need it right now. I am transplanting tomato plants into larger containers. Friend started them for me. He plants several seeds in one peat pot so I am getting a lot more plants that we actually expected. I just cannot see throwing away 3 perfectly good plants because they are all in the same peat pot. I will have some Jet Star, Cherokee Purple and Romas. Also, going to put in some cukes.04-19-09 We had some rain come through last night. 1 3/4". We have been getting rain every couple of days. That is about all. Just rain and a little wind here at our house. I hear thunder but not very close. 04-12-09 We are waiting for a severe thunderstorm. Rain about every 2-3 days. Well, it will get things ready for the planting of the garden. In a couple of weeks. 04-01-09 It was 32 when I woke up this am at 6. Supposed to get to the low 70's and pretty today. I still don't know if we are going to Memphis. We don't plant warm weather plants around here until after the middle of April. The last couple of years we had nice 80+ degree weather early and then got zapped with a HARD freeze. Like 18 degrees. So, we watch things. The plants are back outside but under the deck roof so they are protected for these short frosts. 03-12-09 We are getting drizzle. And it has gotten cold. The high will be the upper 30's. Quite a change from the 80's day before yesterday. The high in Memphis should be 35 today. Freeze tonight and a little warmer tomorrow but freezes for the next couple of nights and then 60's during the day and upper 40's at night. Weird weather. 03-09-09 Nice warm weather here for the last 5-6 days. We are supposed to get some rain tomorrow evening and then temperature is going to drop. We will go from a low of 55 to a high of 55 in 12 hours. 02-23-09 We got 3/10 of rain the other night. Mostly a lot of overcast and wind. It will get up into the mid 40's (like yesterday) but it is so windy that we still need coat, gloves, hat and boots. This morning it was 20 at 6:45. Now it is 7:10 and it is 21. It is supposed to make it to 51 but I don't know. 02-07-09 Our plants are outside for the next few days. We are expecting rain Mon-Wed and then Wed night the temps are going to crash again. 02-06-09 We are warming up also. It was down to 37 last night and already up to almost 60. We have been putting pot plants outside. The forecast is for 60's during the day and high 40's or 50's at night. Great! 01-02-09 New Year is okay. Nothing really exciting. Today it is in the mid-60's. And dry. Tomorrow will be warmer with rain. 12-16-08 We have had cold weather lately. A week ago today, it was in the upper 50's and we got almost 5" of rain. The pond looks so much better. Then after a couple of days, the cold weather came in. If it would stay kind of cool and dry out, I could make fudge. I keep getting reminded by Jan about it. He has been doing the pecan shelling and picking. 11-02-08 We are having nice weather. 29-30 Monday and Tuesday nights but since then we have had high 70's during the day and 50 at night. We are expecting rain Wednesday night into Thursday. I don't run to Memphis on Thursdays anymore so I don't worry about that. We are going to paint a friend's house this week (inside) but we still don't want it too wet.

| 10-02-08 We are enjoying pleasant no heat, no a/c weather. But, also no rain so I guess you can't have everything.

| 09-19-08 We haven't had a lot of rain. We got 3/10" from Hurricane Ike. Today, Memphis got 2" in 1/2 hour and we got 1/10 at the house and it took most of the day to get it. Jan said they also got lightning, wind and hail with the rain. Needless to say, I didn't have that problem at home but I did hear thunder so I shut down the computer and some surge protectors.
