[speaker002:] oh my goodness well we have been drenched
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] we have had so much rain for May and June that we've got all the uh weather people down here really confused

[speaker001:] it's usually dry down there isn't it
[speaker002:] yeah right now by now it's usually no you know it's quit raining you know by at least a month
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] oh I hope they come this way
[speaker002:] we're in central Texas and it feels like we live in Houston
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah really
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] well gee uh does California is California getting rain then
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] out of the Gulf oh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] it's been uh wet and we've mowed our yard I think
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] three or four times in the last two or three weeks I mean just because it just keeps growing and growing and growing and
[speaker001:] oh my gosh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] yeah lawn mower broke so
[speaker001:] oh well see now we need we could use two days straight of rain
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] it's really drying up up here
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah um
[speaker001:] uh-huh we've had real hot weather
[speaker002:] hotter than usual
[speaker001:] yeah yeah we've you know and uh let me think I got out of school in May in March I was wearing shorts
[speaker002:] wow
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] hum
[speaker001:] is what they said what happened
[speaker002:] huh I guess that means you're going to get a double long summer
[speaker001:] I hope that oh I don't know but I hope it doesn't mean we're going to get an early winter
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh yeah I was wearing shorts in March you know it was nippy but um
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] like it was still in the seventies
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know high sixties low seventies in March
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah uh-huh yeah we haven't
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] really  well is it weird at Christmas time without snow
[speaker002:] no I don't think so well see last year we had snow at Christmas time
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah well it's real dry down there you don't have the humidity either do you
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah muggy huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] as hot and muggy as it would be being over hundred plus ninety degree humidity ninety percent humidity
[speaker001:] yeah see that's what's bad up here is when we do get the real
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] oh that's good  well I don't know well I guess that's really about all
[speaker002:] 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
