How's your weather?

Thank you. The storm last night dropped our temp down to 20C but left the high humidity with us. I hope your rain is a gentle one.

Still humid now, I went outside and couldn't stay very long, I was very disappointed.

@marlina We weren't happy about the high humidity this morning, either. We had to make a run to the store first thing. (I wanted an ice cream cone for breakfast. )

Thank you! We need to trim them down so they fit in my steel mug better. (It's the only thing we had that's heavy enough they won't turn it over.) This is the second storm we've had in the week that started by throwing hail at us.

@DianneN Where were you growing them? Our winter gets cold enough we have to dig the corms up and keep them inside or they'll die. When it sounds like someone's trying to break every window in the house, we tend to get up and look outside to make sure what's happening. We live one house over from an all-night convenience store. You never know what's going to show up off the interstate.

@DaddyEvil I used to grow them and then they stopped coming up for some reason. I do understand about trimming them. lol My son told me he was visiting his girlfriend last night when they had a big thunderstorm. If we had one, I must have slept through it. Totally exhausted!

@DaddyEvil I think I have a photo of the last year of the white gladioli, I still have a few that are not yet blooming.

@LadyDuck OH! That IS beautiful! Thank you for showing me. I appreciate that.

Thank you. Pretty and I like flowers and often brought them in at the other house... This house is too small for us to feel like we have the room to bring in anything we don't need in the house. I'm sure the white ones are lovely.

@DaddyEvil It's kind of cold here...Well, 77 right now, which isn't cold but it's low for July. And our low tonight is supposed to be 59, which is cold.

@xander6464 We started off today at 56F. It did reach 78F today, though. Our low for tonight is supposed to be 60F.

I tried to push the clouds back to you but it didn't work... *shrug* Are you still at a decent temp there?

@DaddyEvil I would love to hear the reason but I understand you can't talk about it here. Unless you can. The moderators watch me like a hawk but they seem to let some say whatever they want.

@xander6464 I'm sure I could word it in such a way that it wouldn't get my discussion deleted, but I still think it's gross so won't do it.

Eww! You're a sick man! (I'd tell you the reason I divorced my second wife but don't want to gross up my discussion. ) It doesn't bother me to gross up someone else's discussion, though.

Thank you. It has gotten chillier here overnight. The temp is 14C now and sprinkling still.

@myklj999 Is it cloudy there? We aren't getting any warming sun right now.

@myklj999 You've got more luck than we have right now...

@DaddyEvil Maybe they skipped this year because of so much rain? Weird!! Your Oxalis is pretty! I think one of the twins has some of this and I think she left some at the house in LA. I will have to check on that!

@kareng Thank you. There are supposed to be a third color of oxalis. Besides the green and purple there is supposed to be a silvery-pink one, too. I just haven't been able to locate any of that one yet. If she did, take some of it home with you. Oxalis adds a nice taste to salads or as a garnish on meats. It has a type of sour taste that's refreshing. Leaves, flowers and the bulb/tuber can be eaten.

Thank you... I prefer to leave those outside. I really don't have the room in this house to keep them but can't let them die when they're so pretty. I'm glad there are still seven or eight more spikes that haven't started opening yet out there. I wonder why yours haven't started blooming? I thought your flowers bloomed before mine? Have I shown you my pot of oxalis in bloom? I thought I was losing the plants but brought them outside and now they're going crazy! Oxalis in bloom. Photo is mine.

@DaddyEvil No thank you. We don`t need rain here

@m_audrey6788 Okay, I won't make you have any then.

Thank you. The rain doesn't upset us... it's the hail that bothers us. When it started, we thought someone was pounding on our windows, so ran to open the door so they'd stop. The hail doesn't last long but the storms don't need it to alert us it's going to rain. If you need the rain, I hope you get some.

@DaddyEvil Ok, good! I just have to wash it out though . . . it hasn't been used in a while! The top is about a 5 inch diameter. It could probably accommodate our sunflowers, but I don't have to heart to chop any of them down. Let's see . . . right now at 9:40am it's about 75F. Humidity is almost 60%. It's supposed to be to something like 92F later - which is actually cooler than it has been for us .

Thank you! Oh, yes, that would work, I'm sure... I think we'll trim them down a bit more and see if that works better. What's your temp there right now? We started off at 68F this morning but with high humidity.

@much2say I understand. I never intended to bring in any of the gladiolus but what can you do when Mother Nature says to take them inside and enjoy them? *sigh* It's right at noon here and 75F with 98% humidity. We're supposed to hit 85F sometime this afternoon. If you want to come enjoy the cooler climate, you're more than welcome... (We walked down to the end of the yard this morning and looked at the ditch back there. I think the water's still deep enough to swim in but I touched it and it's COLD! )

@sallypup Yeah, that might be a bit of a problem. I'm allergic to pet dander... but would be willing to try for a few days. (I've got six epi-pens on hand, so should be good enough for a short visit.)

Thank you. Oh, my! You all need to come stay with us for a while. (I'm not sure where we'd put you, but we'd figure it out once you got here.) It's not quire 1 pm here and the temp is 75F. (After it hailed last night, the temp dropped to around 50F until this morning early. It was 67F at 7:30 am, when we got up.) The only trouble you all might have here is the humidity. It's at 98% right now.

@DaddyEvil I had tons of trouble with humidity and heat when I visited the South, Savanna, Georgia, in particular. You might not appreciate all the zoo critters that come with me if I were to invade.

Thank you. I swear, I was trying to make it snow on @myklj999! Last time it hailed on us I tried to push the storm to him but got a migraine so had to stop pushing... He said he saw the clouds but they petered out before he got anything... So I tried again. Sorry if the storm hitting you is my fault. I swear JJ is the luckiest man alive!

@DocAndersen I think I need more practice at it. I tried to push some of the rain yesterday to Malaysia but couldn't get it past the Ozarks Mountains. I think I caused some flooding over there. If you feel like helping me push, the myLotters over there say they really need some rain.

@DaddyEvil mental storm pushing should be an Olympic sport!

Thank you. I keep trying to share the rain we're getting here with people on myLot but somehow... I'm just not getting it to them. *sigh* I hope you're having a nice weekend.

@Nevena83 I hope there's enough to do some good at your house!

@DaddyEvil You sent me rain.

If you'd like some more rain, I'd let you have some of mine. We got a lot over the last few days Photo is mine.

@Butterfingers In that picture, can you see the white places on the pavement in front of my car? Those are fountains of water pushing up through the pavement. There is so much water in the ditches beside the road and coming down that the underground drains are too full and pushing water back out. I had to turn around and find a different street so I could go to my doctor's office that day.

@DaddyEvil yes I would love to

Thank you very much. I'm sorry it is so hot. I woke up not long ago and the temp here is 16C. It looks like it's going to be a nice sunny day.

@nzlz123 Wow! That's too hot! We don't see temps like that until August.

@DaddyEvil wah that's good 16C, today i have 34C

@DaddyEvil 98% humidity is too much. Incan understand how you may be feeling there. Here it's 39°C and humidity is 35% still we are sweating too much.

@sjvg1976 I don't have nearly as much trouble with the temperature and humidity this year as I've had in years past... Pretty believes it because I'm taking the meds for my thyroid now. She may be right. Are you having a good day today?

It's only 20C right now but the humidity is 98%. That makes me stick to everything I touch.

@DaddyEvil How about a small garbage can?

@marlina Our garbage cans are metal mesh so wouldn't work. I suggested a pitcher but Pretty vetoed that idea. Thank you for the suggestion. I do appreciate you trying to help me.

Thank you... Yeah, I'm still upset about it breaking them off. I like flowers in the house just fine but those were meant, by me, to stay outside. We don't even have a vase big enough for them. That's my steel drinking glass. It's the only thing we could find heavy enough to keep them from falling over.

Thank you. I would have thought the tropical storm heading your way would give you plenty of rain?

@RasmaSandra Just don't let it flood.

@DaddyEvil not yet anyway perhaps later or tomorrow

I hope you get the rain. Several others from the Philippines have been telling me it's too dry there right now.

@florelway Yeah, I know... your country is spread out quite a bit, too.

@DaddyEvil it's cloudy and some rains. Other part of the country might be dry and sunny.

Our day ended up at 22C but we kept getting showers off and on all day. The humidity is what makes the day fun here. It was at 98% when it was sunny out. I stuck to everything I touched. YUCK! Are you still needing rain there? I can try to wish some to you. (It doesn't usually work, but once in a while I get lucky. )

@ladyhero We'll see if it helps you. We can always hope.

@DaddyEvil I need rain at least once a week, hahaha, your prayers will be answered if it's for good, because that means praying for you too

Thank you. Where is "here" if you don't mind my asking? And welcome to myLot. I hope you enjoy your time meeting the other inmates in this insane asylum while earning your pennies.

@Sefika7 You're welcome. Introductions aren't necessary here but they are nice. Most of us display our country beside our name so it's easier for others to understand where we're from and what our background might be so we know how to relate to the other person.

@DaddyEvil Thank you. Yes, sorry for not introducing myself. Your story was interesting. I just commented without even thinking about it enough. Here is Izmir/Turkey. It is mostly windy here as it is on the coast of Agean Sea.
