weather??

And don't forget that in 1483 the Duke of Buckingham's rebellion against Richard lll was stopped in its tracks by the flooding of the Severn after days of torrential rain. This, no doubt, can be seen as proof positive that global warming is a charming fantasy created by wild-eyed lefty granola eaters.

How ironic that you guys suffer with too much rain and we suffer from not enough! Thankfully I don't get a water bill as I have a well. Have the water going ~3hours/day between landscaping and garden.

Hope you guys get the sunshine and warmth very soon.

You guys should switch to metric ... the temps would go down immediately ... for example, today it is only 27 degrees here. And beware, I don't think the guys in Accy can handle "sunshine and warmth." Cold and damp is the way to go in Lancashire;)
 
I was surprised to note that the weather in southern Ontario has been almost bang on normal this summer. While the rest of the world is having weather that makes the international news, poor Ontario is boringly normal. Shazbat.

Yeah, thanks Eric, those lower Centigrade numbers make it downright chilly. Boy could I have a heck of a wacky weed crop with this type of weather . . . I mean, from what I hear about the higher potency of these types of vegetations with this kind of high heat and humidity!

Well, our heat wave has arrived and for the next little while, temps will be in the low 30s. But the humidity is not that bad, and if it gets too hot, time to head for the lake.

Over here, hazy hot and very humid weather continues. When a hit or miss thunderstorms does actually hit here, they have been very violent and have caused alot of wind damage.

The hot weather is the most bother when cutting and splitting wood for the winter.

Culpeper County named disaster area


Allison Brophy Champion

Friday, August 10, 2007

The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thursday declared seven Virginia counties, including Culpeper, primary natural disaster areas because of the sustained impact on farmers of drought and high temperatures.

The disaster designation makes farmers eligible for low-interest loans and any grants Congress may approve. Crop losses in Culpeper County are expected to total more than $1.5 million with some farmers losing more than 50 percent of their yield.

In addition, many farmers have been forced to buy hay and haul water to feed their cattle, as much of the county’s pastureland has not grown beyond a few inches in as many months.:(:(:(


Well, that somes things up pretty well for how the summer as gone. Thankfully, we have a strong, faithful, deep well which has saved most of my veges, fruits, landscaping and lawn area for croquet and badminton.

Had a nice long rain last night!

This is how bad a summer we've had....:mad:

My neighbour gave me some sunflower seedlings. They are meant to grow between 6-10 foot tall, with the flowers measuring about ten inches diameter.

For months I've nurtured them. They've had a weekly feed. They've been watered on the very rare occasion it hasn't rained. Slugs and caterpillars have been picked off and killed, and they've been securely staked against the winds.

Today one of them flowered.

Hurrah!:)

Except it's the size of a bloomin' dandelion, and is only three feet tall.:mad:

I don't think it'll inspire any budding Van Goghs to get their paints and easel out.:D
