oh really
oh well
all the farmers you know well it's good for hay you know all the farmers got their first cut of hay and everything but they're going to need some more you know rain to get the second cut
oh
i i'm working for a lady who has a strawberry field and if we don't have rain she's going to lose a lot of money
oh my goodness
well we have been drenched
oh
we have had so much rain for May and June that we've got all the uh
weather people down here really confused
oh my
uh we it's probably it it's just
it's usually dry down there isn't it
yeah right now by now it's usually no you know it's quit raining you know by at least a month
uh-huh
and it's still we're still having April showers for June yeah uh i don't know where where it came from but it's been really we got a lot of uh
oh i hope they come this way
we're in central Texas and it feels like we live in Houston
oh really
yeah it's it it you know like it rained today and then it just kind of steamed everything up you know uh it's been great because we haven't had to use our sprinkler system but it's uh
uh-huh
it's hard to plan anything outside just because they show up
out of nowhere and then they're gone we've had some with
really really high winds that have trashed trees and everything else it's just
oh my now see every everyone up here with their gardens they're not going to have much of a garden this year because it's so dry
yeah
well i hope you get some of that we've had enough we have had plenty and we're still uh forecast for more yeah
yeah
really
so
well gee uh does California is California getting rain then
uh i'm not real sure i think a lot of this is coming out of i think what's happening of it's coming out of Canada and it's meeting what's coming out of the Gulf
out of the Gulf
oh
and it's just causing chaos and i mean these are good these are good summer rains you know electrical storms and and all that so it's been
yeah
it's been uh wet and we've mowed our yard i think
uh-huh
three or four times in the last two or three weeks i mean just because it just keeps growing and growing and growing and
oh my gosh
and one one week it just rained thunderstormed for a day straight and you couldn't get out there you just couldn't get out there by the time you finally got there well your lawn mower wouldn't sink we were you know
uh-huh
yeah lawn mower broke so
oh well see now we need we could use two days straight of rain
oh
it's really drying up up here
well what always works for me is if i water my plants or we wash the car it usually rains if not that night the next day
no no i was telling everyone hang your clothes out on the line and it's surely going to rain whenever you hang your clothes out on the line it always rains
yeah yeah
yeah um
uh-huh
we've had real hot weather
hotter than usual
yeah yeah we've you know and uh let me think
i got out of school in May
in March i was wearing shorts
wow
i was wearing shorts in March up at college and uh we we what they said is that this area has had its summer weather in the spring
hum
is what they said what happened
huh
i guess that means you're going to get a double long summer
i hope that
oh i don't know but i hope it doesn't mean we're going to get an early winter
because you surely wouldn't get
no i wouldn't think so
i wouldn't not as early as it came i mean your talking September maybe that's a little early still the
yeah
uh-huh yeah i was wearing shorts in March you know it was nippy but um
uh-huh
like it was still in the seventies
yeah
you know high sixties low seventies in March
yeah
yeah we were there we were in New Jersey last October and it was hotter there than it was here it was just like a heat wave and i was like oh i want to go home
uh-huh
yeah
uh-huh
yeah we haven't
because uh we had we packed to cool off you know brought short sleeve sweaters and everything and we just died it was really hot so but i like it here i wouldn't i wouldn't trade it for snow any day yeah
oh my gosh
huh
really
see i like i like the snow but i like to watch it fall and i just like it where it's deep enough you know but not too deep
right and i can handle a vacation in it and
you know but my husband is from New Jersey and he wouldn't go back either he did all the shoveling and everything else he said it was a pain so
really
well is it weird at Christmas time without snow
no i don't think so well see last year we had snow at Christmas time
oh
so it really wasn't it was weird because we had snow it's like wow it actually fell on the right day so uh no it's not in fact uh you know we're used to running around in
you know Spring clothes in December and so when it throws in a real cool
winter we get broken pipes and and all that kind of stuff and because Texas is just just isn't built for you know real cold weather for long periods of time
yeah
well it's real dry down there you don't have the humidity either do you
no not not where we are now in Houston stuff they've got it
they've got it where no hair spray works
it's so humid at times but here it's it's just about right it's it's pretty dry and not too dry where you know you just it hurts to breathe but we're just about right we're just having this all this rain and
uh-huh
yeah
late rain has made it kind of uncomfortable made it the humidity real high but no i like it well we're right in a good stop because we're
yeah muggy huh
you know we get over in the over the hundreds in the summer but it's it's not it's a dry heat and it's not really
uh-huh
as hot and muggy as it would be being over hundred plus ninety degree humidity ninety percent humidity
yeah see that's what's bad up here is when we do get the real
so
you know hundred and the high nineties we have the humidity to go with it so you're like real mucky and you you know your legs stick together just from walking you know so um
oh
yeah
yeah i know what
so we like it where we're at if it's not a whole bunch of everything at once type stuff
uh-huh
yeah
so
but no it's interesting when it gets really cold here and people forget that they're live in Texas and they don't know how to drive in snow and you know but uh
i wouldn't trade it for anything i was born in Texas and i visited other areas and i'm just a sun person i think gotten used to it
oh that's good
well i don't know well
i guess that's really about all
yeah weather is not real hard to talk about it doesn't last real long either i thought the weather is the last thing you talk about but in this case it's the only thing to talk about but well Michelle it's great talking to
