Good morning Steve, John and all of Alabama. Started out nice at 68° but headed to about 90° and plenty of sun. The humidity should be dropping to about 40%. But the Soothsayers are calling for boomer and rain about 1300. I hope we get some good rains this afternoon.

Not sure what all the day has instore but I am sure the boss will give me my orders soon!

Hope you have a great Saturday and Ma Nature is kind.

Grass seems to have slowed down growing here which is fine by me, haven't had to do it much more than five times so far..

Afternoon Steve and John. We had a pretty good rain finally about 1/4 inch from 1230 to 1330. It knock the temperature down to 73° from 94°.
The Soothsayers are saying more possibly early evening. We will see and I hope so!

John, late winter into the first half of the spring, I mowed at least every two weeks and then the drought. I have mowed three time sense the first of June! This time if year I usually have to mow about every 5 days!
