I am covered in mosquito bites! Every wasp in the city is trying to make a nest on my porch!

Oh my goodness Sookie....that sounds terrible. Mosquito bites are the worst. Invest a ton is OFF or Cutter mosquito repellent. Maybe buy a bug zapper, and put it right on your porch. lol Don't let them win. This is war.

Margarettaville

I saw all that and wondered what is happening to the casinos that are built on top of the river boats - and sorry about all that from what I heard you guys are getting all that from us here in Texas.

Hello. Seriously, could not ask for a prettier weather day than today. 78 degrees, sunny and a light breeze. Ahhhh.....
I filled the bird feeders yesterday, and they are located right out my left side thru the window. I put suet out there for the little birds, and quite expensive feed for the larger birds. Well don't you know I heard a ruckus out there this morning, looked out and saw a BIG ass crow eating all the suet he could handle. lol I chased him away, but I know he will be back. He was yelling and I know he was telling all his damn friends and family to come over to the new suet supply. haha Actually, I just love feeding the birds. Quite enjoyable to watch. Oh and the songs they sing, are heavenly to my ears.

6 Terrifying Ways Crows Are Way Smarter Than You Think

"...along with the ability to recognize us as individuals, the researchers also learned that crows can hold a grudge. And pretty soon, it wasn't just the first seven crows reacting. Other birds, ones that hadn't even been captured in the first place, started dive-bombing the scientists as well."

 

[PMM]

Guess maybe I'll feed them too. Don't want any trouble. Gulp.

The weatherman sure has been incorrect for the last few days. Sunny and warm turn into rain and cool with crappy wind. More rain today. Blah.
Makes it hard to even stay awake. I am all for taking a day watching movies, but not day after day. lol

Mr Sunshine? Could you please come back again? I am starting to lose my tan I worked so hard on. lol

Hope everyone else has better weather than Michigan today.

 

[Mben]

I'm pretty sure we have better weather here in AZ, Pam.

Yesterday I had to use the "two finger driving" technique.

It's a skill you pick up from living in Arizona. And you pick it up rather quickly. lol

 

[PMM]

Finally after three days of rain, a day of sunshine is in store. Need to mow the lawn, but I would bury the tractor. The ground is so saturated, it will most certainly have to dry out before I can mow. Everywhere you walk is squishy. lol

Apparently its name is Bill Starting to rain a bit already and it is SO humid!

"Well, no matter what model you look at, tropical rains are headed for north Texas Tuesday and Wednesday as the remnants of what should become Tropical Storm Bill later today pass over north Texas. Indeed, this particular forecast model from the National Hurricane Center brings the eye of the storm right over the heart of the Metroplex."

[PMM]

Oh Sookie, you just can't catch a break weather wise. My goodness. More bad weather in store for Texas.
Stay safe.
Have you thought of building an Ark? Sorry , bad humor.
Seriously, try not to let it get you down.

Well, we have dodged some good ones, but today I think we are gonna get hit, and hit good. Severe weather is expected. Large hail, damaging winds of 70 mph and a likelihood of tornado's. Heavy rains. The really yucky part of all this is it comes in three waves. First one around 3pm, then 7pm, and thebn around midnight. That's a long time to be looking to the skies with reservations.

Time to batten down the hatches. Wish me luck.

The monsoon has been very active the last two days here in Tucson.

Here are a couple of the many pics I snapped during yesterday's storm.

 

[Sookie]

Double rainbow

Double rainbow

Yeah, but the weird light effect surrounding it was what caught everyone's attention here.

Other people got some really cool pictures of it also.

Was it raining hard in Dover, FL last weekend? Well, it rained hard enough so that catfish could swim out of the local pond and down the street...
