Well how has our weather been.....

...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS CANCELLED...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN WILMINGTON HAS CANCELLED THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING. HEAT INDEX VALUES HAVE DROPPED BELOW 100
DEGREES.

This is August 29th we have had
26 days over 90
of them 16 days of 95+
of them 7 days of 99+

Officially we have had 1.53" of rain this month.
We actually have had a bit more....
luckily several of the scattered T-Storms and Showers hit us here.

The trees here are all shutting down, as are the Perennials.
Too much heat stress during the day w/ hot hot nights on top of that.
The yard looks bare in areas that usually are lush and full of flowers this time of year.
Luckily we had a bunch of annuals potted up this year so we can kind of fill in the empty spots.
Usually we wait for late Fall to do yard projects. This year we've already started.

This was our first waterfall and stream built 6 years ago.
It's being revamped.... radically! lol
