Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow .... that's what I'm thinking about. Tomorrow the temp will go to 55!! But, gee, a good temp is creeping in its petty pace.

You know the saying: when it rains, it pours! (more salt conversation?)

It's for our water softener..that's why I had to shovel off the storm cellar doors.

It was only 5 degrees on our back porch thermometer this morning when I let Cassie out and boy she didn't stay long. We didn't get the predicted 4 to 7 inches of snow but there is still plenty in our driveway. I could easily get stuck there.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps at its petty pace from day to day...now that will be stuck in my brain all day! soon to be yesterdays

ummm, weather.

varying between really hot and just hot, and really humid and really humid, and sometimes really sunny and humid but mostly wet.

Hello to down under. I always wanted to see your country. I know it does get hot. I am in Florida, so I know about heat in the summer too. I don't miss the cold. Do you have any measurable winter weather?, or is it hot all the time?. Florida, really does have seasons and we get down to freezing. Glad to hear from someone so far away. It is amazing that we can communicate accross many distances. Take care and glad to meet you Lara, ginnie

Hi again ginnie,
Yes, it is an amazing thing to be able to communicate this way.

I gauge my winter by the need to wear socks. If I need to wear socks, it's cold. We are wimps though. It does get cold for us for a little while in the winter, but it's not really cold, we just think it is. In my area the seasons tend to blend into each other. We're pretty hot from October to April I guess but like everywhere, it varies. I'm coastal and sub-tropical so it certainly doesn't get freezing here, but other parts of Australia further south and up in the higher areas (mountainous) get regular seasons.

p.s. this is what is going on at my local beach at the moment.

Courier Mail - Loggerhead turtle nesting

Our youngest sister, Pam, gets to witness that amazing vogage of newborn turtles at their island home in Bald Head, NC!!!

I remember WhoMoi once telling me about the turtles up there in North Carolina. It's pretty incredible when we think about it because both there and here gets bashed up with wild weather so often, yet they keep on going back to the same areas, year after year.

I kind of do the same with socks as you do. I am coastal also. I will have to get a map out and see what lines we are on in relation to each other. Your seasons are opposite of ours. It is our winter here, and it is 77 outside. As I said we do get down to 32 now and then. I have seen alot of picures of your country. Especially that Red mountain that seems so isolated from all other mountains. I heard that was a big tourist attraction. I live in a tourist area in Fla. I was one of those myself, so I call myself a transplant. I was raised near lake Michigan, North of Chicago. I guess I had enough of the cold, and I wanted to stay in a warm climate. Sub tropical is what we are clasified also. Have a good Day Lara, I am always interested to how people are in different locations. Now that this is possible, I think it is really cool. take care, ginnie

280mm rain measured at sugar bag road just near me yesterday. Similar expected today.

That's just over 11 inches.

2 good things about flooding rain. First, it's summer, so it's not cold rain. Second, I found a green tree frog. First I've seen in the yard of this house in years since I've been here. That's a good sign.
