And it is a darker shade of green! It is on an automated sprinkler system that is adjusted for different times of year and water conditions. And it was turned off during the heavy raining....]

Thanks for asking.

Apparently, no one has been having any weather since April. All of ours lately has been HOT, with no end in sight. It appears we are sharing this hotness with most of the country.

we've had two kinds of weather, warm and dry, and hot and dry which followed a fairly dry winter.
we've gotten about an inch of rain in the last 2.5 months.
and remember this is an area where a few inches in a single event is not an uncommon event.
well at least I don't have to mow the dead brown stubble in the front yard.

It's going to be above the mid-80's and near 100 for the next couple weeks and humid as well. The wife just asked, do we want to go anywhere this week - my reply, certainly not in the MG!

I am so glad we won the weather lottery when we were in Wisconsin....
walking those courses in that weather would be hell on earth.

Timing is everything. It's 90 right and feels like 100. As an entire state this is the hottest day we've had in three years and more Sat.

I saw 99 on the thermometer yesterday.
Awfully glad that we teed off in the early morning so we were done by noon.
we never saw relief by thunderstorm as they skirted off to the south.
