The midwest is having more rain and storms. The tomatoes and peppers I planted are looking better for the rain, but the rivers are flooded and levee breaches in nearby towns are a worry for our county and surrounding counties. There was another levee breach today , so that will change the river levels, but flooded more homes, farms and farmland. Some of the towns I visit often are flooded .
We got another 2 inches of rain yesterday and today, with more coming in during the night that is not going to help the river flood stages at all. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to share the extra rain with the states in a drought? The midwest could use a few days break from the rain so the water levels can go down. Hopefully that will be this week. The forcast looks like we might have a 4 day break coming up, along with some cooler temps. The cooler temps will be welcome too. I think Sunday's high will be about 78.. darn near perfect for me!
We have several projects on hold because we cannot get a backhoe in here to level out our driveway. Once we can get that done, we hope to start on the porch. I am anxious to get started!
My oriental lillies are blooming like crazy and they smell soooo good! One plant has two stalks and between them there are 17 blooms. 10 are open right now. If you dont have an oriental.. put them on your list, they are not only beautiful,, but fragrant too:)
