Good morning everyone, I hope this is the start of a good week for you all. We had a bit more rain yesterday, but not as much as some folks around here. More flooding, more wind damage. So far this year, our area has been spared, I've seen some small trees down and lots of branches broken off, but then again, that's Mother Nature doing her tree trimming.
Those cactus blossoms that I posted pictures of yesterday were already wilted by two in the afternoon. They never last more than a day in the spring, so it was no surprise that they only lasted a few hours in this heat.
No rain in the forecast for today according to the Weather Channel, but yet the humidity is off the charts at 88%, and the dew point isn't far behind at 72°. As for the past few weeks, they really should have kept the forecasts to themselves, since just about anyone can predict "20% chance of rain", and be right 100% of the time. It either rains, or it doesn't according to that forecast.
