Default More rain on the way

Seem like summer is taking it's time getting here. While most of you are basking in warmer temperature we finally hit 71 today. Last year we were at 88 at this time. 3rd wetest May on recorded, our average temp was 65. When I mowed my lawn today before the next big storm on Wednesday I left mud tracks in the lawn. At least I'm getting things done on the car, it just all them Helicopterzs are getting ahead of me. I actually bagged 120 gallons of grass clippings today since the grass was so long from no chance to mow it for two weeks. Everyone have a great week, I know I plan to even with the rain.

Yep summer sure is taking it's time this year. This is only the forth time in recorded history that Reno never hit 80 degrees in the month of May. I'm starting to hate rain but it's better than the snow we had at the start of the month!!

Wow, we finally got some rain yesterday and we needed it. We had temps in the 80's, up to 90, for over a week. That's not right for MI in May, temps should be in the low 70's. Last week felt like late July early August.

Today is sunny again with temps going up to 80, I have to go cut the grass again. Just cut it Friday and Saturday, think I'm going to fire that True Green guy.

You should have made some "crop circles" in your lawn.

What really stinks is that this is the time of year for Graduation parties. Many people hold them at their homes, in their yards. So much for a manicured lawn, now you have a mud pit.
