missouri weather: Rain, rain come our way! Rainbows in Lebanon MO
- 09/02/10 04:46 PM
We've had an uncharacteristically dry summer in South Central Missouri. Rain has been scarce - and it seems like we've had a circle drawn around our property. Neighbors just down the street have had big, fluffy rain clouds while I'm in my drive way with the sun glasses on! Some where along the line, we made the rain gods mad. But the last two days, we've had some relief. Glorious rain! As an added bonus, a double rainbow! The hubby grabbed the cell phone, as I had both cameras with me! (Sorry Honey!) Enjoy - we sure did!

missouri weather: Lebanon Missouri weather: Ever changing
- 11/29/08 01:42 PM
I am getting wimpy.At first I thought it was old age - I did turn 40 this year, you know.But, I think I have decided it's not the age, it's the location.Having grown up in Naperville Illinois, about 32 miles south west of Chicago, we had some cold, wet winters. The wind would not only blow, it would whip. The snow would not only fall, it would keep on falling. And, once you had snow "up North" it stayed until spring. I've lived in Missouri for almost nine years. Seem strange to type that - the time has gone by so … (5 comments)
missouri weather: Bookworm MeMe.... Thanks Don Rogers for asking: I am reading....
- 11/29/08 12:29 PM
Thanks to my good friend Don Rogers, I was tagged for the bookworm MeMe a few weeks ago. However, a few sick kids, work, my own case of the flu and the Thanksgiving holiday put my MeMe on the back burner. Tonight, it's a little chilly here in Missouri and I debated: read my latest book or play work on the computer. Ah, the MeMe will allow me to do both, at least for a little while! The task at hand: Grab the nearest book Open the book to page 56 Find the fifth sentence Post the text of the next … (7 comments)

missouri weather: Rivers Rising in South Central Missouri
- 06/22/08 03:25 PM
We’re very fortunate here in South Central Missouri. We’ve had above normal amounts of rain for June and for the year. Yet, we have NOT had the flood damage seen in other parts of the state and the country. Rivers, however, are running fast. They are high. They are muddy and murky. My husband Ray is in the process of listing ten acres on the Niangua River, a short distance outside Bennett Spring State Park. On Friday, Ray walked the property, finding a path going down to the river. It’s hard to tell exactly what the shore line looks like – … (10 comments)

- 06/02/08 12:34 PM
In early May, I wrote a post about a first for me: mushrooms growing INSIDE one of my listings. In case you missed the story and the tell tale photos, you can read about it HERE.Now, here it is in early June and I have another first: clients reading MLS data sheets by flash light! Missouri has had record setting rains this past Spring. The trees are full, the flowers plentiful, the grass thick and lush.
For the most part, the rain has come at night. But today was the exception. We started off the day cloudy and … (12 comments)
I normally do not post jokes and items that are passed along the internet. However.... This one is new to me and I thought very appropriate given all the rain and flooding Missouri has had. In fact, it's been raining all day... great day to be a duck here in MO. Hope you enjoy...
Sick Of Rain!! A curious fellow died one day and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment. As he stood there he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the pearly gates into Heaven. Others though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning fire. But every so often, instead of hurling a poor … (10 comments)
