Still muggy, hot, humid and still. Thunder rumbling over the interior of the islands. Working in the yard without a shirt does not help.
If weathermen are correct (50/50 chance) then tomorrow could be very wet with upper level low still lingering and an area of moist low level pressure coming at us from the east. Heavy rain forecast.
Funnel clouds over Honolulu these last couple of days with heavy showers and thunderstorms over Oahu.
Interesting news - two years City of Honolulu spent $2 million to haul sand off the ocean floor back onto the beaches in Waikiki.. Variations in the tides and ocean swells this last summer has eroded all that sand back into the ocean and uncovered even more rocks and old breakwaters. Some beach areas are roped off and beach boys are having to move their businesses. May be the rising ocean levels are having an impact. Estimates are that by end of century Waikiki will be under water.

I was successful on an online auction last evening. I bought a 26 x 36 greenhouse frame for about ¼ the price of new. It also included planks for along the bottom sides. A good deal, I think.

We will see 60s for a few more days then the bottom drops out and we will be lucky to see 50 a few times next week.

Today was low 60s and sunny. Once sun came out and started warming up things it started feeling good. lol

I am so glad I'm not the only one who noticed the shape. lol. My dad can't figure out why it's not filling out more. At least it's alive and healthy, just slow to fill out. lol

Extent of fall color so far here. Not much to look at.

I have friends that live in Aussie.They are fighting wild fires.The fires has gone to both sides of the road.It is very heart breaking that they are losing their homes to the wildfires.I have been watching it on CNN.

Warmish today. Reached 70 and started out with a light breeze and ended up with a strong breeze that cooled us down quite a bit today. lol

So sorry to hear your friends are in danger of the fires, southgal. They are terrible.

Cooler here, down around 40° last night, maybe into the 30s. No frost yet. Sunny, clear, crisp fall day today.

Richland, WA(Zone 7b)

We have had several frosts, and now are in a period of beautiful sunny days and highs mid 60s, lows at night right above freezing. Trees are gorgeous in color, and I just bought me a B&D 32v leaf vacuum/blower to get some garden mulch going. I have my backyard gardens totally cleaned up and cultivated-only have a few carrots and 24 newly transplanted Butterhead lettuce growing. I know the weather will get bad just any day now, and I do not enjoy garden chores in the cold!
