Our hummingbirds don't share like that either! Occasionally there'll be two that'll be agreeable but not very often. I'm also amazed they survive at all.

Heavy rain passed through Western NC at the school last night. Very foggy this morning.

Was mostly cloudy and cool, but we did have some sun now and again. I think it got to 55°. It was almost clear this morning when I left for work. Even saw the moon over the neighbor's cow shed.

38° this morning and clear as a bell with stars and moon. Weatherman said cloudy last night and today. That's the kind of forecasting we get.  :wacky: :uhoh:

I have 42° and the high is only supposed to be mid 50's.
And no sun.
And rain tonight.
Looks like I will have to wait until Monday to see the sun and 70° temps.

Comparatively cold last night, especially out in the wind, and this morning. I think mid 40's. It'll be like this for a couple days, I think.

It's been cold and raw all week. I lit up the kitchen stove Monday and it's been running steady since then. Yesterday especially cold with a strong East wind. I lit up the basement stove at noon as the house was cooling down. I almost never run the basement stove in May! It is very unusual to have a several day cold spell this late in May.
Rain started about an hour ago, temp is 40. Warm in the house now with both stoves burning. They say 1-2 inches of rain before it's over tomorrow.

43 was the low last night here and the rain started around 2pm yesterday. It's 45 here now with a high predicted at 47°, the breeze will be steady out of the NE and rain off an on all day into tomorrow when it tapers or thins out. In short. it's not exactly pleasant. I spent a little time in the shop yesterday but it needed a drying fire to make it comfortable and I didn't feel like starting that mid-afternoon.
 Today will be a different story. It's no going to break 60 until Sunday afternoon.

Cool here also and light rain. Decided it would be a good day to saw up one of the logs I had on deck. Had a heavy sweatshirt on all day. Better than burning up I guess.

It clouded over here by mid morning with peeks of sun all afternoon. Got no warmer than 55°. A little N breeze, some flies came out after lunch. Going to begin raining toward tomorrow morning and rain in Sunday. Mid 40's weather, rain hard at times, cold wind. I won't be out in it.  ffwave Warming up and clear on Monday, around 70°, a day earlier for the warm than first predicted. Even that will likely change by Monday.  ffcheesy ffcheesy ffcheesy

Got the mowing done tonight, with a heavy cotton long sleeve shirt on to.

Got to have heat here until mid June.

60° days is cold to sit around the house in, even 70° is not all that hot. If you're working you're not cold. I can guarantee ya with them old kitchen wood stoves like my grandparents always had from Enterprise, there was a fire on in the mornings until the middle of June. I've seen lots of houses in northern Maine with a June fire on to.  I've got relatives from Maine. ffcheesy ffcheesy ffcheesy  You forget stuff easy. ;)

Ya them Old People are cold critters.  ffcheesy
My Grandmother had a cook stove. 
I am sitting about 20 feet from one just like she had, Home Clarion.
The one in the old farm house has a crack in the oven.
Bought this one from a place in Maine that use to redo old stoves.
That is all she had to cook on. No electricity here until 1986.
In fact, that is all she had to heat that house with.
There is a big wood furnace in the basement, but I never saw her use it.

I have 40° and not much warmer today with a high of 45.

Rain this morning and then showers.

My grandmothers here had both wood and electric in my day. But mom's mother would still cook pies, bread, beans, cornbread and what not in the wood stove. She cooked a lot in sporting camps that grandfather ran, was always fresh bread and pies for those hunting or fishing. Most just came to eat, and hear old stories my grandfather would tell, didn't care if they got a deer, bear or a salmon.  Even some were scared to death of a cub bear. ffcheesy ffcheesy ffcheesy ffcheesy  My grandfather had some good laughs about that.

My grandparents here in Royalton built a new house in the 40's. Grandmother's brother wired the house. The know it all neighbor said, 'we'll never see power up this road'. Power was run up here the next year, even on the far end of the road which is now just farm road (was 4 houses up there). I still find the old electric wire on the ground in the old field beside the road once in awhile. The field had since grown up and was cut and now growing up again. I've cut about 60 cords of firewood out of there in the last 5-6 years. As the years pass by the trees get bigger.  :sunny:

Last electric pole was 1 1/2 miles away in any directions.
She lived on a dirt road, which is still dirt and, just about off another dirt road, that is not paved.
She always had a phone.
I don't even have cable here.
The only reason we have high speed internet is because of the state of Maine. The Governor wanted internet to all rural homes.

No cable here at all,  all comes over internet on Sumsung TV and any apps on there. We get 5 over the air digital stations besides, which I never watch. No wired FiberOp internet either, never will be. I get mine off a tower by a local company. The tower has worked out fine for me. Can get 5G but I only use the basic package which is 2.4G. And those speeds are not steady, they control the speed based on traffic. Only other option is Starlink, brother uses that because he can't get tower reception.

Cold yesterday and this morning, I had a night off from golf and I wasn't upset about it at all, especially since it gave me the opportunity to have a very nice meal with several of my buddies that I don't get to see often. 

Turned on the heat last night when I got home, boo. Was 41 on the way into work this morning. Supposed to hit mid 60s today, then be a beautiful 70 degree weekend! I'm excited, though it means weedeating and more weedeating and mowing. 

We have about 3 acres of "lawn" minus the small pond and I knew when we were buying the place that weedeating would be pretty time consuming. Granted, I only weedeat maybe twice a year, but to do it well it's about 10 hours of it each time. I know it'd be less if I did it more often but uhg. I was debating last weekend if I'd rather weedeat or dig holes... I'm still not sure.

Temp is up to 42 degrees now, cloudy with a chance of light showers today. We had 2.1 inches of rain from yesterday and last night. Very little wind at the moment which is a huge improvement from the last few days. Both stoves burning now but maybe I can let the basement stove go out.

This is the start of the Memorial Day weekend and Memorial Day is supposed to be the start of summer!? :uhoh: :uhoh:
