We have been outside trying to get ready for this storm. My husband has been on the tractor mowing for about an hour now. It will need mowing again as soon as the rain stops...
I have been feeding all the pets and giving water to them. I am fixing to go back outside and do some more of that and plant a couple of peach trees. Remember those trees that I bought at Market Day in April? Yeah, those!! We both keep forgetting about them. The holes are dug, so shouldn't take long. The first time I tried to plant them ants had taken over the hole that was dug, so had to treat. Then forgot about them again. So today is the day!!
Rain should be moving in around 3 pm today. As with a hurricane, the rain is moving in circular squalls. We are expecting some heavy rainfall this afternoon. Rain will continue on and off through Saturday according to the forecast. I'm hoping it is very light and ends early on Saturday since it is Market Day!
What are you doing today? Are you in the path of this storm coming in from the Gulf of America?

How lucky to have rain on the way. It was scotching hot today and I stared at the cloudless sky. It does not seem like it will rain anytime soon.

Hope you got the trees planted. It should be cooler there now.

I hope that you got everything done that had to be done B-4 the weather hits
we are partly sunny & HOT for the time being but that could change in a few
hrs. like it has been doing this past few weeks.

Like you said, I think Florida is gotten all it's going to get. It didn't act like a tropical system from what I saw. We did get a sunshower today as we were on the way home from the store.

It's raining around me, but we got about 60 drops at my house. We have a flood watch because that's the way these storms are supposed to be today: parked over one part of town, with another part of town not getting a drop.

I don't know... I don't know where the Gulf of America is... If you mean the Gulf of Mexico, no, we aren't in the path of those storms.
It has been storming here since sometime during the night. Storms here come from the West Coast and move across the country to the East...
