It's exactly what the title of the thread says: breezy and hot! LOL Actually it isn't too bad right now, but it is supposed to be 98° this afternoon. There is a "cold" front coming through this afternoon and we may get some thunderstorms. When the fronts come from the northwest, like this one is, they often dissipate before they make it this far, but we can hope! The rain would sure be nice.
Currently:
A Few Clouds 79°F (26°C)
Humidity: 62 %
Wind Speed: NW 6 MPH

Sugar, lovely pix...as usual! What is the Coleus name in the top left hand corner? I have a pot that's two years old and about 4' high. Big old ugly thick stems, but I hide those behind other plants and just let the tops peek out.
Pati
That's Happy's world record setter that she calls Sidney, LOL. We don't know it's other aliases.
Sidney
Sugar, so I've got a Sydney too? COOL! BTW, the comment about the ugly stick stems was aimed at the plant......you did know that, right?
Pati
LOLOL Pati!!
Yes, Pati although my stems are saggy, I want a knee lift.
Mine was about 4' when it got hit with a cold snap so I pruned it back to 1' and it just mounded out so beautifully. Very well behaved like its namesake...........NOT!
LOL It is one of my favorites.;)

We're getting from Alberto: much cooler temps, a nice breeze and overcast skies. It is not expected to give us any rain..... :(
Oh how I hope the forecasters get that one wrong!!
Oh, bummer, berrygirl. I was REALLY hoping you would get some rain. :-(
Thanks Marylyn. As long as it is cloudy, I am still hoping and praying! The cooler temps are nice, though.
Nice day here, again.
Low 60 F, high 85, now 77. 50 / 50 billowy cumulus clouds and sun. Light breeze.
A chance of showers for the next few days, no real rain storm though.
I foolishly tried to pick the strawberries in shorts today. I had to put my painters overalls on to protect myself from the swarms of mosquitoes. I was getting bloody. Turns a pleasant chore into a pain....
Here is a Peony. So fragrant.
Andy P
Sugar, your white caladiums look so cool and refreshing!
We hit about 84*. It warmed up fast. I haven't used all the ''clean'' on my flannel sheets yet.
Well, we really haven't got all the rain we need here. We were 8" behind our average and my water bill is $100 over its average.
Sidney
no rain
hot
no clouds
no dew
beautiful shot Andy like a painting of perfection
Forgot to comment yesterday. It is beautiful Andy, mine gave up early this year.
2/10'' rain. 70* and wet. We also had a dew this morn.
Here's a bad picture of me and Fat Albert. Albert looks pretty good tho.
Billy, you're a cutie, I love big smiles. The Spruce looks good, too.
A bit humid today, low 61, high 82, now 78 F. Light SW breeze, some high clouds and again passing Cumulus.
There are storms north of here but not expected to get here till nightfall, if at all.
My first Day Lily of the season.
Andy P
Thanks Andy!
My first daylily has been Stella D' Oro. I planted 3 in 2004 and they just bloomed this year. Some people say they're overrated, but I sure like mine.
What is the name of yours? I love the deep yellow fading out.
Hot - 94*
Hum - 8%
winds from SW @28mph
the transplanted, 2-ft tall maxmillian sunflowers I transplanted last night are not at all happy about the wind from the desert. nor are the temps to their liking. I made shade for them. can only hope
Billy that spruce looks like a very special dress. quick glance says you are wearing it. sure is one happy looking specimen. both you and the tree. LOL ~Blooms
Laugh, Blooms! I hate to say the dress ''fits'' pretty good. I'm losing that winter weight tho!
You are windy! Hope the sunflowers make it!

Billy, It's a Stella too. They are always the first to bloom. The pic is a bit dark.
Here is one I snapped this morning.
Andy P
Might as well update the weather!
A seabreeze kicked in. temp down to 70 f, big t'storms to our west, hardly moving.
The sea breeze will prevent them from hitting us.

I love the color of Stella. I need to get out and take more pictures. The camera DD lent us only takes 5 at a time. I have to unload before I can take more. I didn't think the quality was very good on the last batch. I think the card is wearing out, if that's possible. Update here too.
75*, the sun is coming out and it's a bit muggy. Big decision. Mow now or wait till it's hot tomorrow?

Hot and muggy this AM, then cold front moved in - temps in the 60's overcast but no rain here. Scheduled for thunderstorms for tonite.
It is Poppy time in Pa.
I like Stella, too. I'd like to get some of the pink ones that are out now. What a gorgeous evening it is here in Ohio...Sunny and breezy. I'm on the hammock checking threads until my notebook's battery poops out on me. Then I'll switch gears and read a novel outside until dark!

Tomorrow it's supposed to be sunny and up around 80°F. I've got soaker hoses to put down, then mulch to lay and plants to deadhead. It should keep me busy.
High . 79°
Se-eds, Those poppies remind me of the beautiful clumps of volunteer shirley poppies we have in bloom. I have been helping them to get more and more in the deeper red and many doubles. Also I like the pure pink and the red with white fringe. I saved seed last year and planted a little bit of it....thousands of seeds came up.
Nice to see you Billy, you look like a Christmas Angel standing behing that tree.
Andy, your DL:s look like my "Holy Grail"
Sunny
Today is a bit colder after last nights rain and thunder
Temp is only 68 F this morning.
Janett
Billy you can buy a memory card with more memory [hence more pics] and i don't know about them but my camera uses floppy discs {yes it is old} and the floppys do 'wear out'.
wow that wind was blowing against a cold front that brought some storminess to the north of us ... and overnight the temps dropped to wonderful spring i ness. Hurrah! the maxies stood back up.
Now it's 76* out and the Hi will be in the mid 80s
So a-gardening I will go. hi-ho
humidity up to 15% and the wind is gone [for now]
What make/model camera is it, Billy? The flash memory cards should last you years. We are still using our SmartMedia cards after 6+ years of very heavy use.

Time to get off Dave's and head back out to the garden.
I went out to pot up some ferns (in the shade) and had to come back in after 20 minutes. I guess I'm no lady 'cause I was wet with SWEAT! Even the dogs won't go out. Oh well, you know the old saying, "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun"
And it's only June!

The remnants of Alberto passed close enough to us for a band of showers to hit us early this morning, 2 tenths of rain and a bit of wind.
Now it's mostly cloudy 71F with light variable wind.
Here is a close-up of a Mountain Laurel, the bush got beat up last week in the storms but still has a few flowers opening.
Andy P
Sunny, breezy, 80 degrees. Beautiful day. Was out checking plants and that 1 inch of rain we got last week is gone. Could stand another one. No rain forecast though.
My son in New Mexico just wrote that he is packing up everything he has room for to be able to move quickly if a nearby forest fire jumps the ridge this AM. What a life! and What a place to live!
Claire
Mountain laurel is one of my favorites!
Yep, windy and hot. I don't know how hot it got today. I was indoors and didn't pay any attention.

Thank you Janett!
Bloom, we just need a whole new camera. This was a loaner to bring us into the digital age, which I love! Sounds like you got a beautiful day!
Gardenwife, it's a Hewlett Packard with a 4 mb card. We're new to all this, so DD will be helping us.
Andy, I love mountain laurels. Does yours sucker?
Se_eds, we've had pretty good spring rains, but our inch disappeared too. I've been edging beds and the dirt crumbles off the grass I dig up.
78*, still, breezy and still again. Humidity back down to around 50 according to my Vermont Weather Stick. Dorrs and windows open wide and a bowl of lemon sherbet and mint bon bon...ooops, it's gone.
High 85°...low 61°. Now this is summer!
I am just too depressed to post the weather here in Ga. I am watching my trees and shrubs die slowly day by day from the drought.
:(
I understand. No rain is depressing.
Yesterday I went out in the morning to turn the sprinkler on and the air was light and fresh and cool... I wished I could just stay out there and work on the garden! Today when I open the door it's like getting hit in the face with a hot, wet towel. The humidity is definitely back!! There is a 70% chance of rain today, a 60% chance of rain tomorrow, and a 50% chance of rain on Sunday and for the next 3 days. And we could use ALL of it!!!

I seem to be watering all the time now. It's so hot that I have to come in for a change to dry clothes after about 20 minutes. I can't remember EVER sweating this much...must be my age. LOL
Anyway.........I just wander in and out as if in a dream, but always with a hose in my hand!
