Right now I'm listening to a Prairie Summer Storm, & wondering how long
it'll be until I loose power. TV (digital) is intermittent at best, but the Internet
access is holding up so far.

I like those. Better fireworks than anything humans can conjure up, IMO

I'm listening to "house rattling thunder" and "pounding hail" by Thor and the Rainmakers.

I heard this one yesterday to the tune of $17K.

Enough already.

There was no room for more water last fall. The well at the farm has never been this high. Normally it's 70ft before the bucket splashes down. Too bad it's all poisoned from fricken' fracking. Not even safe to use for irrigation. But if America really really needs it then I'll gladly let them have it.

My end of the block, the street is flooded up over the sidewalks &
onto the lawns. You sure about that?

Did you notice this rain smells like a lake? I'm going to pH it in a few minutes.

I said not the water part! :| Just the lightshow and thunder.

This is my street last Thursday:











Seems they don't have a symbol for waves of hail storms....

Here's the one that hit Hazmart in S'toon two days ago:

Calm after the storm in Saskatoon

That's kind of sad. I saw some people lost homes and stuff. Okanagan had a pile of rain a while ago and it caused a mudslide. Wiped out a few farms and houses, too.

Shytie....my crop consisted of 14 strawberry plants. Most drowned, and
a few are hanging in there, & three of them are HUGE!! I think a couple
of those must be mutant aquatic strawberry plants....(see above pic)

Apparently strawberries do well in hydroponics. Maybe I should have planted rice? It will be tough to turn a nickel this season. Ah well, I'm glad I'm not a gopher.

.....and?

Rhubarb seems to be liking this weather. I've no idea what large scale
production & harvest (and finding a market for it...) would entail though.

....& 7.7 means what? Is that normal-ish?

Rhubarb would have made great jam with those strawberries. Rhubarb crisp is really good and would sell well if you can find some old Ukrainian ladies to buy them.

Be glad it wasn't 6 and raining pee. Our weather was out of the US deserts which kick up quite a bit of limestone dust which added to neutral vapour and gave it a 7.7

Sometimes we get dust from Mongolia

We have three healthy plants left, & the birds usually beat us to the berries.
You might want to find a different strawberry supplier. I love Rhubarb Crisp!
