Bearded Iris

One of my favorite flowers. I had a little energy today so decided to dig up a bit of ground before we are hit with an atmospheric river that’s on the way. Dug up, grass roots removed, soil amended and Iris roots that arrived yesterday planted. Added a wild lupine seedling because I still haveContinueContinue reading “Bearded Iris”

Ticks and Greenbeans

Much cooler today and cloudy. We got a little light rain this morning. Sprinkles really. But I was surprised to find myself with a tick. Now this area doesn’t get ticks much. I haven’t seen one in many years. A sign it’s getting hotter here? A climate change sign? One of the issues with warmingContinueContinue reading “Ticks and Greenbeans”

Rain! Lovely Rain.

Last night it began. A nice gentle wash that has continued today. It’s exactly what the land needs. Just over half an inch has fallen today at a rate that soaks into the parched earth and not just run off. Of course this means I don’t have to feel guilty about not working a lotContinueContinue reading “Rain! Lovely Rain.”

Over and Over

I’m seeing in all theses social media posts about the catastrophic floods, storms, and fires (all over the world but especially in the USA) where people still in so much denial. They blame “god and the end times.” They blame “government.” (Especially whomever they didn’t particularly like or vote for.) They blame 5G. (I literallyContinueContinue reading “Over and Over”

They Deny It But It Still Exists

3:30 pm 63°F, mostly cloudy, west 9 mph wind, 0” rain https://abc7.com/post/kerr-county-texas-flooding-least-13-dead-23-campers-unaccounted-amid-guadalupe-river/16956934/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLVNGFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHiHfMi5KQwLuf4VSfO568VM7klPYlem5znlNSpMFhC8AU_E-MbRt7OVL59Sv_aem_ULX_IR1yRjtFSIUogYZ7Lg#56mvpszk11wxt99fo3edcde32fbjjlqwk Flooding in Texes. Were they not warned because the weather service has been cut? Were they not warned because the weather patterns are not predictable (due to climate change they are refusing to admit to?) So many of us who are not afraidContinueContinue reading “They Deny It But It Still Exists”

Have you seen the weather?!

48°F, Rain, 11.69” monthly, 29.6” YTD ,(wind? Isn’t registering) While the big crazy potential storm for my area only resulted in mediocre rain and a lightning show, the rest of the country’s weather has been insane. Fire in places not normal, twisters and giant hail, ice storms with some crazy damage. (example below) https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BibqPZPc9/?mibextid=wwXIfr GladContinueContinue reading “Have you seen the weather?!”

A beautiful day- but don’t be fooled!

74°F (a record for here), partly cloudy, NW 4 mph wind, 26.87” rain ytd Trilliums in bloom today in the woods. It was so beautiful today I spent it all outside. As soon as I was up and moving I jumped into the garden. I planted strawberries, heathers, peonies, cabbage and broccoli seedlings. I transplantedContinueContinue reading “A beautiful day- but don’t be fooled!”

Why? They instead talk about biblical “end times” and humans controlling weather and other conspiracies. Or out right say “it’s just normal weather,ContinueContinue reading “And yet they still deny the science…”

A quick post.

I’m at work and forgot my charger at home so, it’s a very quick post concerning the crazy weather in the south east. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18mHepMGoP/?mibextid=wwXIfr The above video from Facebook is quite startling. In Texas. It appears denying climate change is doing wonders to keep it from happening. <sarcasm>
