Default Toronto in July = rainy day peoples

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y32zJ71lI1Y



if April showers bring May flowers

what do record setting July showers bring us for August?



I expect the prolonged heat and wetness to continue to nurture countless mutant weeds throughout the property...I no longer whippersnap them, it's time for the saw

hope the Maritimes bring you clear skies, char ....say hi to jessie joe and co

note: although his are shoes that cannot be filled, I'm attempting to compensate for his ntable absense by flooding the site with an additional 5.66 posts per day (per his stats sheet)


ps) on topic, I enjoy this version of one of my initial fave GL tunes
YouTube - Looking At The Rain

jj,

Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I'm sure Jesse Joe will be most pleased with your detailed work that encompasses even the misspellings. I'm gonna put you on my A-List for substitute poster.

That Hank Williams Jr. version is pretty nice. (Are You Ready For Some Football ?!)

omigawd I am gonna scream. I have to cut the grass! Between the mower being in the shop for 2 weeks and the rain (which allowed me to do some indoor painting) there's been no cutting and it's due for a major trim!
lol
wet wet wet..ugh
upside is I haven't had to fill the pool at all this summer!
lol

Rain last week in NS washed away my cousin's driveway..oh man..
Hopefully August will be nicer to Ontario and NS..and all places experiencing this crazy extreme weather..

Hank Williams Jr. does a nice job with Lookin' At The Rain. It's one I've never heard before.

ouch, ok, I'll chug along the shoulder of the 401 eastbound in the bolens and take your property on in no time flat, lol... just like that good ol' Straight Story flick

I've got Nova Scotia relatives arriving, not sure if my liver is ready for this long weekend

Pam, you said it! Sumacs are multiplying like rabbits, agh

appreciate the tip of your cap, RM...I'll standby and work on my A-game

agreed folks, I actually think HWJ might also do a good job of INSTC but let's not go there, lol

note: I only came across this by accident as I was looking for something totally unrelated, as so often happens when one is youtubing

Not so much rain here! It has been either a light passing shower or torrential downpours! Humid mostly though . It's been very, very good for the indigenous plants! Marshmellow, chickory, Queen Anne's Lace, geranium...all doing well. Unfortunately so is the Sumac and the trees are 5' tall. The branches/leaves are nearly reaching the walkway so I must do something soon!

Glad to know you've been productive Char and happy mowing soon huh??!!!
just yesterday as i was driving along with a friend I kept commenting onthe beautiful Queen Anne's lace everywhere..I LOVE them..gotta get some and press them to frame at a later date..
