I can still vividly recall the heat & humidity combination. I use to joke about needing a machete to get through it, back in the days when I didn't really know what a machete looked like. Of course that's history. I use a machete here on a regular basis. <br /><br />So, you're having a wet summer. I guess the alternative is the common July/August drought there when lawns turn crispy brown. Happily where I'm now located the grass never gets brown even during droughts. But the seed farm browns over frequently. <br /><br />Barry, I wish I could send the rain over your way. For real! It's raining again as I write and frankly, I've had enough now.

Even here in Oregon, I started some sprinkling of the driest parts of the lawn. I'll need more grass for the raised garden beds in process!Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483102573957001593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351299832598163605.post-56166044498262517262014-07-16T08:31:55.278-07:002014-07-16T08:31:55.278-07:00Sue,

Straight line winds of 60 mph or more. Have constant problem of fallen trees. Rain totals of 1 - 2 inches in less than an hour, followed by VERY high humidity. All this is causing a health problem, "Black mold"Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615782661941505491noreply@blogger.com
