We all call and ask one another afterward: "What did YOU get?" And, "Did you lose power?"<br /><br />One gets a dusting of snow, the other a half-inch layer of ice on everything, the other nothing at all. This time of year, one gets 4 inches of rain in a day, another .4 inches and another just lightning and a power outage. Or 60 mph winds...versus still as can be. And so on. <br /><br />Even our temperatures really vary; it's a hilly area, with elevations from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand feet quite close by. <br /><br />I hope that today and in the days to come you get much more than a skosh, but not so much that it causes its own havoc. Does that just-right thing ever happen anywhere?Margaret Roachhttp://awaytogarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699604597414325417.post-10685478773537478532009-08-20T09:21:36.727-05:002009-08-20T09:21:36.727-05:00Thank you!

Yours is one of my favorites. Skohsh indeed. <br /><br />It's intense out there. Earlier this summer, one of my kids hoped we wouldn't see any more sometimes islands. She's about to get her wish. I think we're about 4 feet from being able to walk across all of them without getting wet. <br /><br />My garden is looking ok, but I thind we're going to have to do something to reduce the amount of grass next year. We don't cover much with grass, and next year, we're going to cover a little less. <br /><br />Thanks again for a nice entry.Bruce Tatehttp://www.digthedirt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699604597414325417.post-91617551826453425092009-08-07T07:51:19.828-05:002009-08-07T07:51:19.828-05:00We all knew August would be tough on the heels of ...We all knew August would be tough on the heels of the June/July baking we'd gotten but I swear - I think even my birdfeeders look wilted and tired lately.TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699604597414325417.post-6546322356581633642009-08-06T22:28:46.012-05:002009-08-06T22:28:46.012-05:00I thought I was the only skosh getter in the area....I thought I was the only skosh getter in the area.
