Aw, man.
If I'd waited fifteen minutes I could've caught audio of the toads and frogs, too.

The temperature in the sun is meaningless. It’s not the air temperature, it’s an indication of how much heat your thermometer absorbs from direct solar radiation. Your trees actively cool themselves.

Hmmm I wonder if it would absorb MORE solar radiation when the UV index is higher... which would be ‘sharing my weather’, no?
Did you think I was complaining?
Nahhh.. getting 95 degrees here is awesome!
My trees are fine, I’m here to tend to them.

No, just pointing out that putting a thermometer in the sun doesn't give you useful information.

but it is so much fun!
Summer seems to be ending for us soon. Please tell me this was not it for the year.

That's how it's been around my area, too. High temperatures early on, the the wettest years we've seen in a long time. Mornings feel like early autumn.
Now they're predicting a massive heat wave over the next month. We'll see.

Just like the annual “fungus-parade” that goes on right about now.

Out here we're at the far western edge of Tornado Alley (For those unfamilar, it's the coloquial term for the region of the US where tornados are most frequent) and only ever hear of them occasionally. I remember living in Ohio as a little kid, though, where tornado drills in school were as common as fire drills.Tornadoes touch down in western and northeast Wisconsin as 6th straight day of violent weather pummels state

Yeeeah! Tornado Alley! I kind of forgot!
I experienced my first when I was about 8. I was home alone, on the 160-acre’d farm....the skies turned green, then I saw trees being felled (on my way to the basement with my radio, flashlight and daschund
) right before the winds became so intense that visibility was not possible..When I “emerged”.. some 20 minutes later.. it was hailing, the house was standing.. But the barn was “thrown” about 400 yards into a crumpled heap.
The SOUND of the tornado...

We just broke 100 degrees in old speak.
Need to do so much outside but pretty sure I'm just going drink beer instead.

Second round of severe thunderstorms today. First one hit right after I got home from work, crazy wind and rain. This second batch features torrential rain and crazy lightening. The ditches are full and water over the roads. This is NOT normal for August here. Usually by now, the lawns are burned up and we're praying for rain.

So far, lets see where this gets to today.
