It was 82° and sunny, here, today! My Mom called, this evening,
yelling, "put out your hummingbird feeders - they're here!" LoL,

ruby-throated hummingbird was drinking out of the back feeder!
Spring is definitely springing......:ggreen:

LOL...Okay. I won't.

By the way, I just finished watching the CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards and I have to say that Pamela Anderson is the biggest hooch in the whole world. I don't think there is one brain cell in that head of hers. :roll:

Giving The Devil His Due

Just thought I'd drop this little tidbit on you. I mailed my taxes in today (I had to pay) and the check number on the check I sent the IRS was number 666. :grrr:

Yikes!! Hope you're not suspiscious or that the person that reviews them isn't. Otherwise if they are they might decide to audit!! :roll: Don't remind me!! We still have to do ours. Guess who will be pullling reciepts, etc. tomorrow?? :roll:

Pojo, you pass everything else with flying colors, so we know you will pass your AF physical the same way. :D :wink:

Glad your comp problems are fixed Garrett. We really did miss you! :D

Eric, Janae is being lifted to the Lord for healing.

Ticka, hope that sore throat is gone!!! Baytown can't can't function without their senior accountant!! GET WELL GIRL!! The storms all missed my part of town to the South or East. Only got .2" of rain and a lot of thunder. I hope all our friends to the east are faring well. Lots of heavy storms all the way to NW FL right now.

Jacki, are you getting any snow tonight? Looks like Iowa is getting some tonight on the radar.

Everyone else HAVE A TREMENDOUS TUESDAY!

Morning everyone. I can only stay on the front porch for just a second because it is cold. Brr! I brought some hot chocolate out for everyone if you want it.

It is election day here. I have to go vote in a little bit for School Board and a new bond issue to get a new career center.

Au Revoir!
Garrett :multi:

Hello everyone!

We sure got a lot of thunder yesterday and last night but more bark than bite. We did get a few good thunderstorms overnight and it's a lot cooler outside now. Feels great! :D

ticka, you still got that sore throat? I'm finally getting over mine. I had it for nearly 2 weeks! I hope yours goes away much faster!!

Everyone have a great day!! :D

Southerngale - I still have the sore throat - but the fever finally broke yesterday and hasn't come back. I hope I don't have it much longer - its taking all the strength out of me. I have no energy to do anything. I am just warming the seat here at work. We must of got all the bite SG - cause we had over two inches of rain and some hail. I haven't checked my garden when we had the last round around 7:00 p.m. - hope it didn't get my tomatoes.

Good Tuesday Everyone! :D

I am looking forward to the rain expected here in central Florida in the next 24 to 36 hours. Forecasters are calling for around 2 inches of rain, makes sense looking at the radar of the large area or rain and embedded thunderstorms moving toward Florida this morning and early afternoon.

Current temperature is 88.5° (89°). It has been a few degrees warmer than expected the last day or two. Made it to 92° yesterday.

Moderate rain has kicked up once again and after 2.55" of rain yesterday, for obvious reasons CHS has hoisted a flash flood watch ... expecting an additional 2"-4" of rain overnight as intense reflectivities of steady heavy rain and embedded elevated thunderstorms continue to move northward through the area ... worse still, it's only 53º.

goes my three days off from work plan to PLANT
FLOWERS! The old folks around here call it "Dogwood
Winter", as, the dogwood trees are blooming.

Thanks for the hot chocolate, Garrett - it took the
chill off!

Josh, you soak up that southern CA rain, this weekend,

Update on my niece Janae...she is no longer contagious and her mother took her to the doctor for a follow-up examination...where he pronounced her no longer 'catchy' but did give her some liquid Amoxicillin (antibiotic) and some liquid Zyrtec to help finish her medicating for this Scarlet Fever 'bug'.
:wink: Thank you all so very much for your prayers and thoughts for her and her family! :D Love You All! :)

Howdy EveryWxone! :D Have a Great Night and Wonderful Wednesday! :)

Eric :wink:

Wow Amanzi! I did see some thunderstorm activity on radar last night; to my northeast and east, last night. About three hours ago there were some storms to my south, they may come and visit me, but the main area of concern which is expected to slow down as it moves toward and over OUR AREAS looks interesting... perhaps some severe weather out of it.

It is suppose to be an unsettled 24 to 48 hours as the system slows down as a low develops along the frontal system.
