Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
75 degrees here in NC. Played golf today in shorts and short sleeve golf shirt. I don't ever remember having such warm weather this time of year but I am enjoying it.
I'm sure it's part of the script she follows. She obviously has no idea nor does she care. She's just glad to have a (thankless) j*b. Maybe she also gets a discount from PG&E. YMMV
The Bermuda grass should be mostly dormant by now here in Central Texas. Except it isn't with the relatively warm nights, and disease patches are showing up everywhere in the neighborhood lawns. Ours is fairing better than most.Warm again here today (80 F). Everything is starting to bloom again! What??

Our Salvia (Mystic Spires Blue) perennials should be losing some leaves (which they have) and not sending out new growth. Nope. A whole lot of new growth at the base of the plants, perfectly set up to get fried during any extended cold snap.
A few years ago, Texas had a drought. After a few torrential rains, and maybe a hurricane too, there was no more drought as all the reservoirs got refilled. Totally amazing!
Yes that drought lasted the whole summer and the state lost millions of trees. And there were fires too.
Then in 2017 (September) we had Storm Harvey hit us and drop 53" of rain....
I have friends who lost their new house to Harvey. Truly a sad story. Mother Nature gives and she takes away. YMMV
This place was a sight to see. My DW was downtown in the Houston Medical Center and just had a heart valve replaced the day before Harvey hit. Since access to downtown and the Medical Center was cut off, she was stuck on the 11th floor the hospital for 6 days.
All roads and freeways into town were under water. You literally could not go anywhere in this town of 5 million people.
The rest of my friends' sad story is that they rebuilt - only to be flooded out again (forget which Houston flood that was.) Then he got cancer and passed just this year in late 60's. He had followed a j*b down to Houston - his position at his Megacorp disappeared but was available in Houston. At 61, he could have ER'd but did not believe he could make it. Truly a tragic period for them. YMMV
