6/29/2012 8:41 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 76f...clear(white sky)...very little breeze. Honey bees are swarming to the saucers already this morn. Also have Field or Chipping sparrows drinking from those saucers. That is odd because we have a large watering station for the birds...the smaller sparrows opt for the flower pot saucers and they are very bold...not afraid of me at all. Have not seen hummingbirds for a day or two and the barn swallows have all but disappeared...they are not re-nesting possibly because of the lack of airborne bugs? This has to be drought related because we usually hatch at least two families each year. Pumpkins in the garden are going nuts. I usually do not have very good luck with them, but they obviously love this heat. Garden flowers(zinnias, etc.)are holding their own and the sunflowers are thriving.
6/30/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Missed the storms last night...84f@1148...white sky...no wind...some storms trying to the west, then more northerly...we will likely miss again...there are many corn fields here and some beans that are done...corn is barely 5' tall silking and tasseling,this could be a disaster for Edgar County...my brother-in-law farms over 5000 acres in Madison County. He says if they do not get rain in a day or two they are finished...it is much worse south and west of here

7/4/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 89f @ 1028...white sky...not a breathe of air. Picked what beans I had this morn at 0900, hot and humid...not fun. What small amount of Kentucky Wonders I picked are nice, but just barely enough for a large pot(60'row). I can plant again, but will not unless I get at least an inch of rain in next seven days. Happy 4th!

7/8/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 82f @0934...some wispy clouds...not as humid. The honey bees are not in the water yet this morn so the cooler temp is helping them. Walking this morn felt like winter after the tri-digit temps of late!

7/15/2012 11:06 AM 0.03 M M M M 84f...calm...clear. I watched this storm form just west of our place for two hours and it was coming straight to me. When it was on the western county line, I started putting chairs away because the wall cloud had a definite bow in it. 15 mins. later just when It should have arrived, it turned straight south. We missed the rain and wind. There was a lot of lightning. My horses are at Martinsville,Illinois, about twenty miles south of me; that storm flooded our barn. So, today I shall be watering trees again. Have not checked garden yet, but even .03 had to help a little.

Last evening around 1530, I watched another storm build just west of me, rain, thunder, lightning...did not get a drop...that storm lingered for over an hour, then went north and east of me, perhaps 3 mile away. Cannot buy a rain. Dug yellow onions this morn...good crop, I guess we will eat onions and garlic all winter

7/28/2012 8:02 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 68f...clear...slight breeze.Dug a sample of the Irish Cobblers yesterday, and they are the best spuds yet, and still have some vine left. I shall leave them for another week at least. They actually have some size to them.They are apparently more drought resistant than Pontiacs and Yukon Golds. And... I am still getting beets, small ones, but delicious. I shall post this info on my DIR later today.

8/8/2012 10:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 90f...overcast...breezy. The last clutch of barn swallows fledged this AM. Likely our last nesting this year. I saw nearly 100 swallows on the power lines two days ago. They are staging three weeks earlier than normal. Lack of bugs? I think so!
8/9/2012 8:51 AM 1.25 M M M M Finally. This storm blew in at 0135/very high winds took out a huge limb high in one of the hard maples. That threatens the house and will be extremely difficult to bring down 35' up. At 0148 the wind and heavy rain ended, but still a lot of lightning. In a storm like this lightning almost always hits a hilltop just west of me 1/4 of a mile no such event last night. 0220 it was all over. Too little, too late, but really should get the turnips going. If we can just do this every week it will be great.
8/10/2012 6:22 AM 0.16 M M M M 62f...misting...windy. Last afternoon storm had straight line winds that lasted 15mins. I do not remember ever having seen winds that strong lasting that long. My cousin lives 3 miles due west of me, and they have a state of the art wind gauge. I shall call them later this AM and report back. The winds had to have been over 60knots. Another amazing thing about this is that as weak as the corn stalks are, I have not yet seen any downed corn...will look farther in a few minutes.0812: checked with Cuz on wind-they recorded a 21mph gust, there is no corn down nor any trees down from here to town. The wind I experienced had to be very local...it was higher than 21mph.

We should have flocks of them numbering in the scores later in the next two weeks. Maybe this year I shall be lucky enough to catch a photo of them. I have been trying for years. The various flocks only hang around for a very short period of time, and as many as twenty or thirty will be in the side yard all at one time. You cannot approach them, thus difficulty in getting a photo. Another oddity is that they do not call as if they were mute.

I saw lightning, it thundered, then again for the third time in two weeks, as the storm neared me, it veered due East. I wish someone could explain this phenomenon.
