Now that the weather has warmed up and calmed down, my garden is finally getting underway. Everything looks good so far, have some blooms on my tomato plants.

Today I finally planted the very last...

Heard on the radio that the Oklahoma wheat harvest has started. We've had such unusual and violent weather this spring, there's a lot of different opinions about just how many bushels the final tally...

Glad to hear you're all doing well out there. I guess now that it's officially hurricane season, it's your turn to watch out for the weather. We're no longer in our usual tornado season, hopefully...

Summer has finally come where I'm at, highs in the 90s this week and no chance of rain.

After further digging into the background stats of this website, I finally figured out where all these new download hits are coming from:

Hope everyone is well out there in Florida!

The clean-up/recovery continues around here. Fortunately, the weather is finally clearing off and I don't think we'll have any more severe weather...

Thanks for the well-wishes, things are alright here. We literally had tornadoes pass by both east and west of us. Also watched swirling rotations of clouds pass overhead. We went so far as to put the...

More weather brewing up even as I type this. If we can just get through tonight, I think we'll finally be in the clear for a while.

If you want to get an idea of just how devastating last week's...

More weather in store for us over the next 48 hours... Not as great a chance for tornado activity as there was last week but they're still calling for severe thunderstorms, 70+mph wind gusts &...

If you've never heard of Zooniverse, it's a website that allows the general public to help out with science-related research.

I recently signed up for and have been helping out with a project...

Got all my seeds planted late last week; cucumbers, cantaloupe, corn, watermelon, okra. Also put out the flower seedlings I started indoors in the front flower bed. Something is eating them during...

Been a mild spring here too, it finally warmed up enough for me to plant but the temperatures seem cooler than May typically has. I also think it's safe to say that our 2-year drought has finally...

I haven't heard anything from Okie. Of course, I do not know how to communicate with them, outside of this message board.

Florida, thank you to your people there for sending the trucks with...

Still "on-call" just in case, but no longer have to work a night shift.

They are adjusting the death toll downwards now, apparently there was a lot of double-reporting and also people who were feared dead had actually just gone elsewhere. But there are still too many...

I personally am safe, but our National Guard unit got activated to help with the recovery. I've been on duty since about 4pm yesterday.

I was with the National Guard when we got called out for the...

Here we go again... so far, the worst is just north of me.

I stood at my west-facing living room window and watched the storm clouds just starting to spin up as they passed overhead. The tornado touched down in east Norman and proceeded to clear a path...

Glad that you and the family are well. I've been at Camp Robinson, Arkansas for yet another Army school so didn't see as much news this week as usual. But back home now.

We have a chance of severe...

Well, over the last 2 weeks I've easily more than doubled the number of downloads I had received during the past 8 months combined. No one has contacted me to say that they had followed any...

We had a big rain late last week too. Driving around, I think the lakes I've seen are almost back to normal levels. After the last 2 years of drought, we really need a break.

This past weekend I finally got all my tomato, pepper and eggplant seedlings in the garden. It took that long for the weather to warm up enough that I felt safe in doing so. Next week I will start...

Thanks for the kind words and advice, Florida, I've edited my post to include an email link.

I'm now up to around 750 downloads over the past few days, almost double the number it took the...

About 10 years ago we had a summer during which the temperature never got above 100 degrees. Very unusual for central Oklahoma, but I'm wondering if we're in for another one like that.

I've had almost 600 new downloads of my 2013 Almanack/Garden Journal over the last 3 days or so. It took 6 months to get that many downloads when I first made it available last September.

I'm...
