20 degrees warmer this morning. Had some sprinkles overnight.

Caps played better, but down 2-0 headed home.

Currently 33.5 here after a 31.8 low.

31.4 for a low. No frost/freeze warning here due to official growing season not started. I THINK it's 5/1.

Hey! An almost 'normal' April day! 67.2/44.3 vs 67.5/40.8. Been a while it seems....

**looks around at the 'greenness' after just cutting the grass for 2nd time this week** Currently at 3.97 for the month here, the 5 CO-OPs within 30 miles of the house running 2.75-4.03 as of today.

Yeah, I had two decent looking areas head my way today, only for them to dissipate and turn south at the last minute. I MAY have 0.01 in the gauge lol.

A great response and I agree totally. I've never 'chased' by myself, only with my son on a few occasions. The part about driving AND keeping up with radar/warnings/sky conditions keeps me from trying solo myself. BTW awesome last pic!

Light rain here this morning, looks like a much larger and heavier round incoming in next hour or so.

Yep, only cold hardy stuff out now. I generally don't put anything that likes warm (or dislikes cold) until May 15-20.

Agree, I mowed Saturday, needs it again.

Well, as someone earlier posted, my experience was VERY different. In 2017 I was on top of a mountain off Foothills Parkway in eastern TN, seeing that darkness close in from a distance was awesome! Being in central TX with small elevation changes you couldn't tell/see it closing in. However, it WAS a longer period of darkness than 2017. We had partly cloudy skies and missed about 30-45 seconds of the start of totality because of it, but the rest was awesome. Their neighbor has chickens and both the roosters carried on like it was morning once the sun broke back out. We saw an awesome bright eruption on the south/lower side of the sun during, and then the ring once the moon started clearing the sun. We got to our location about 4 hours in advance (visiting her relatives) and then stayed another day, so travel was not an issue for us.

ALL of these are really weird, whoever made them likes the Simpons I believe, but here is an idea and you can follow all the rest if you wish.

I have a 20x15 spot I'd like to try something like this, partial shade though..... same seed types?
