It is supposed to rain tonight and for several days here, so I'll probably just check for pests and see if anything is ready to pick when it cools off.
Same here. I haven't walked down to the garden to see what might have washed away...
The rest of the week is supposed to be storms. This is actually the easy time of year for the weather guessers. And today in Jacksonville, you have a 50 percent chance of rain. If it rains, I told you so, if it don't rain, I told you so. I wish I could be right only half the time at MY job 
Actually you can watch the sea breeze roll in, and see the land drift coming across from the gulf side, you KNOW what it's going to do and when they collide, ..you can actually predict where the storms will bloom. Front collision and about 20 minutes later, kaboom, it just follows the collision line. If it's not the western front, its the outflow from a previous popper that hits the sea breeze and blows everything up. Yep, welcome to florida. Lightning capital of the world, but man, the lightning display at night on a distant storm especially when you get the what I call spider lightning that just crawls across the anvil head, it's a beautiful thing actually.... at a distance that is.
Just outside Chicago here. Also grew up on the Southside in the city. My storms are worse now though here in the west suburbs.However..... on the snowstorms.
I grew up in Chicago. Southside actually.
You can KEEP your snow, and 30 below winters, with the wind chill 60 and 70 below.
Ill gladly wear the weather sissy label and cry when it gets in the 40's in Florida

Grew up in Oak Forest, Tinley Park. I remember all too well shoveling snow, and wrapping yourself up in anything you can find for the mile walk to school. Every darned friggin school in the state would close, but NOOoooo NOT district 230 ..... spending the better part of an hour or so chopping ice off the driveway, only to have the snow plow come by and throw it all back up again. I DO miss the fall though, Kankakee and the areas, the change of seasons and the leaves turning colors, camping during the indian summer, it was just so beautiful, but... memories are good nuff for this old man now. Don't need no snow. Things have changed so much now too, it's not like it was back in the 70s.
That freaks my out, I've never seen a real eggplant.
