Got a text from my boss at Tulsa Tough. There could be a delay in today’s Fondo start. If there is there is a very good possibility the Gran Fondo course, and one of my two stops could be eliminated. I will know about 6am, just before I would normally head downtown to pick upContinue reading “Rain Delay?”

Local Warming
Temperatures are now high enough to make you sweat if you are out in the sun. This is why I normally put my window fan in my bedroom Memorial Day weekend. I had not done that because one of the two fans in my old unit wasn’t working. I was looking for a replacement andContinue reading “Local Warming”
Watermelon up
My watermelons have germinated. This is the first sign of warm weather since they are the first seeds I have not started in a tray before putting them in the garden.
Drought downgraded
According to droughtmonitor.unl.edu most of Montgomery County has gone from extreme to severe drought. The local rivers are filling from runoff well to the north, but the local creeks barely have any water in them. The local spring is flowing at about two gallons a minute, a slight imorovement.

More planting
Tomorrow I get to put the okra in the garden and start some more peppers since the first ones have germinated. Time to get the last of the spring greens in before they bolt before maturity. Spring is just flying by.
No rain in sight
There is a small chance of rain tonight, followed by a week of no chance of rain. Since we are still in extreme drought status, this is not looking good for the winter wheat crop that should be coming up any time now.
Signs of Spring
I have got a lot of chores to do to get ready for spring. I feel a personal day is coming up real soon. Time to plant the early garden stuff and do a serious decluttering of the house. The AFL season started this morning. The Cats start tomorrow morning against up and coming Collingwood.Continue reading “Signs of Spring”
