About the weather

 - FM 611 South -

There's a lot of yellow in the barditches and pastures. The rain came at just the right time to feed the daisies, scrambled eggs and buttercups. It's good to shake it up sometime, have something other than bluebonnets all over the place.

It sure is nice to have a high of 81 early in June. My records say that it got to 103 this time last year. High humidity, daily rains and intense, intermittent sunshine are working to make the gardens grow and the grass green. I saw some cotton was already up on Camp Springs road, close to Snyder. I've measured over 6 1/2 inches of rain since May 9.

I've got quite an investment in Off! bug spray. I think the orange cans are the best. I'm working on my small motor skills with the flyswatter. I can't stand the smell of fly spray, but I've got some for desperate times.

Rain chances are ongoing for next week. What a stellar summer we've got started.
