Enter The Weather

Got a great raised garden started this year …

Veggies grew fast, flower buds abound …

Then …

The bees left, the critters ate the flower buds, and my new raised garden slowly became a wilting weed box due to the drought.

So, what happens now, you ask????

Rain …. lots of it.  Right at the end of the garden growing season that allotted me two tomatoes, one green pepper, and five micro-miniature carrots (think eating with tweezers).

So, WTF?

I mean I realize I live in Pittsburgh, but I’m a descendent of Italian and German immigrants that farmed any of the land in Pittsburgh they set foot on and usually ended up having way to much to eat (which became compost for next years crop).

A few peppers, tomatoes, and some carrots …. that’s what I got. Now I have to go buy my crap.  I feel cheated, my ancestors owe me at least a few bushels of veggies.

…. and enter the weather … rain … can’t even cut the grass (which was dead most of the summer).

-SWB

P.S. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…….

Snow ….. where is it?????

(this is what this morning was supposed to look like)

Well, it happened again ….. the weather dudes and dudettes were wrong. There was supposed to be at least two inches on the ground this morning. This morning was supposed to be even a challenge for snow tires (which I spend $200 on rushing to get yesterday before work).

What was the result of last night’s weather advisory for Pittsburgh and surrounding areas? …. one flake on my **** pinkie finger. The dogs were even ticked because they didn’t get to catch any snowflakes.

Now …. it wouldn’t be irritated if all of the news channels had different views on the snow advisory …. but they all said they same thing. How can everyone in one region in an industry like that be collectively wrong and still retain jobs?? I thought that was only reserved for government workers??
