60% chance of rain for tonight. Doing a rain dance.

Stay safe and be happy!!

  3. It's been a very long drought this year hasn't it? It got much cooler for us but still not much rain to speak of...I guess something is better than nothing.

  6. I think the tree looks a "bit" better (fuller) than the month before. Hard to tell from the thumbnail photo, though.


    How To Do A Rain Dance

    (Source: http://www.mcpasd.k12.wi.us/kms/weiss/Semester2/pageskr04/index.html

    1. Never do a rain dance on a hill.
    2. Make sure you have a lot of room so you
    don't run into anything.
    3. Spin around in clockwise circles.
    4. Make up your own rain chant. It should be rythmical
    and easy to say fast.
    5. Yell your rain chant while spinning around in circles.
    6. If you are trying to get rid of rain, spin in
    counterclockwise circles and say your chant backwards.

    what a difference a few months make. They are all beautiful though. I have to confess to liking the trees when they are bare as well as blossomed.

    Have a fabulous weekend

  10. I remember when you first started posting these, we wondered if the tree was even still alive. It's good to see that at least half of it is, but I'm sure this "no rain" isn't helping anything! Hope you get rain soon - and us too!

  11. I like the tree log(journal). Before you know it, it'll start changing colors and losing leaves.I hope you get rain, a lot if you want. We're promised rain, but who knows.
    I hope you're having a good Saturday.

  16. So did you get any rain!!!???:) That poor tree. Where is all the snow this year?? You should have been buried in it! That tree needs a bit of a pruning. New growth is in the center and it's a sign that it has been struggling a bit. Hope that rain reaches you. Have a good night. Chris

  18. Those are quite the snap hots, really shows how the tree comes back to life. Poor thing! Probably starving for some moisture/rain! I hope that ion the next few weeks, your temps cool down and that you are blessed with periodic rain showers to keep things cool and watered. Have a blessed up coming week.

  21. The tree looks as if it needs a nice pruning, poor thing. It's got some color indicating distress. What a good idea to document a tree all through the year. It is interesting.
