    The past week has been a terrible week for storms and rain, in many areas of the southern United States there has been lots of damage from the hurricanes that came onto the land. There was also the loss of many lives and much damage to buildings, homes, roads and many other things. We pray for all those in the areas where these storms struck. Even with all the rain that fell in the area the creeks never got up, I guess it was because we were so low on water levels from the drought during the last several weeks. Those I know which are sick...

    The last couple of weeks the area has gotten some much needed rain, with some thundershowers with wind and rain and during the fair rain a couple of nights and some events were cancelled on Thursday and Saturday nights. Some even got more than two inches with it varying from one area to another, but all was very welcome. The temperatures are still in the sixties and low seventies at night but up above eighty during the afternoon.

    Got some rain along with a thunderstorm, not serious but had lightning and thunder and rain. We are very thankful for the rain as I know the animals in the wild are because their food supply has suffered with it being so dry. The temperatures have been like fall of the year and the leaves are really falling, I guess because it has been so dry. Mornings have been in the low forties and then back up to eighty during the day.

    We finally had some rain in the area on Friday, and again on Saturday and Sunday which is very welcome, but every little bit helps as dry as it is now, think it was said that it has been over sixty years since it has been this dry in our county. Some are having issues with water getting low, and ponds going dry, and having to haul water from other places, and if we do not get more rain soon there will probably be more water problems.

    The temperatures have been in the low sixties in the early morning for the last few days and that is good for me anyway.

    The temperatures have been in the low sixties in the early morning for the last few days and that is good for me anyway. We still are really short on rain and yards, gardens, and pastures are really suffering. Any farmer can tell you that when it gets this dry the cattle start looking for greener grass and it is hard to keep them in the fences.

    We are having unusually high temperatures it has been even over one hundred a day or two. We still are having pop up showers around the area, but they are here and there but not widespread and don’t last long or bring much rain.

    In the last week or so we have had several showers pop up during the day and night which has added rain to help alleviate the lack we have had most of the late summer. We appreciate the rain which not only helps the pastures, yards, and gardens which are still producing, but also washes all the vegetation and cleans the air.

    Still a few thundershowers around the area but not over all the area, sometimes it rains in town and not one drop down on the creek and then it comes a shower with thunder and not a drop in town I guess we need to be glad for what we get since it is so dry.

    Goes without saying we are still very hot and dry; many have been playing in ball tournaments and it really hot especially if you can’t find some shade to sit in. the players have made it good even though it has been so hot but guess the heat doesn’t bother them as much as it does us older ones. My great grand daughter is playing with a team that has not lost a game as on Monday in the state tournament. They play today and then we will know where we go from here. Congratulations to this ball team and others as they play their games. Those I k...

    Still very dry in our area and the severe dry has make fires more dangerous, if you plan on using fireworks during the coming July 4th celebration, please use caution and do not be in open fields where there is dry grass and trees and if you smoke, please do not toss cigarettes out the windows of your car, many forest fires have started this way. We really could use some rain and the weather people are saying we should get some.

    We have gotten to the portion of summer where it is hot and dry, have had a few showers but not enough to moisten the ground. The yards, fields, and gardens are suffering and even some leaves are falling from the trees from lack of moisture. The creeks and other water have been inviting to many in the area.

    wind. The rain is good for the farmers’ crops and the gardens that many in the area grow. This past Saturday night we had a thunderstorm and it had some fierce lightening and thunder, it would rattle the windows as mom used to say, actually it was early Monday morning but there was no loss of power where we were.

    The weather has been rather mild, still with lots of rain, which is good for the gardens and crops that are growing in the area. The days have been rather hot and sometimes the humidity makes it worse with temperatures in the eighties. The nights have still been nice with temperatures in the fifties and sixties most of the time. Some in the area have been trying out the creeks in the area which are still very cold but don’t get much better even when the nights are warm.

    I would guess that many residents of Lewis County and Hohenwald were awoken by the ringing of the telephone in the early hours of Monday the 27th, it was the emergency service saying we were under a thunderstorm watch for a few hours. It did come a thunderstorm but now as severe as was predicted we had lots of thunder and lightning but no hail and not a lot of wind we did have lot of rain. Hope in your area it was also calm. I am glad we have this service to warm us of dangerous weather situations. Those I know of who are sick either at home,...

    Once again last week, the weather has been a big influence on the area as Wednesday afternoon there was hail in some places about the size of a baseball. During the thunderstorm that brought the hail a large tree fell just below my house and several on Claude Carroll Rd and on Little Swan Creek toward highway 412 were without power for several hours. The power was restored thanks to MLEC at about eight pm but the internet and phones were out until Thursday about noon. There were lots of tree limbs and debris around the area and we were under a...

    Last week was a very trying and unusual weather week, on Wednesday afternoon we had hail along with thunder and lightening and lot of rain, the hail was as large as baseballs in some areas, and this can certainly damage cars, houses and animals that are out in the open. Our area was not hit by tornados as some in the center Tennessee area and even some loss of lives. We pray for those in areas where this damage and loss occurred. We are still having lots of rain along with thunderstorms. Monday started off with thunder and rain in the early...

    Pretty sure that Spring is here, it has been in the mid to upper eighties several days lately and even the nights have been warmer. The flowers are doing well, and many wildflowers have already bloomed and lost their blooms. We have had several thunder showers and many with heavy rain and even heavy thunder and lightning, which has hindered many of the ball games from being completed. Several softball and baseball teams were on the fields on Saturday along with Spring Fest which also suffered because of thunderstorms. Hope you didn’t get wet i...

    The blackberry bushes have really been blooming and so maybe there will be lots of berries this year. I think spring has really sprung as the temperatures at night have been in the sixties and daytime in the eighties most days. The wind seems like it is colder than the temperature, but I guess that is because it has been blowing so hard.

    The last few nights have been cooler and even in the thirties a night or two in places, I guess this is blackberry winter since they are blooming. I hope this is the last winter but think there is one more don’t remember what it is called. The days have been relatively nice except for some thunder showers and rain, but rain is necessary for earth to flourish.

    According to the history of our area there should be at least one winter left, the blackberry. There may be others, but I do not know the names of them. We have had some nice weather this past week except for rain almost every day and some nights. The wind has really been blowing and downing some trees and lots of limbs and twigs around the area. Turkey season is here, and many are getting their trophies. There have been lots of turkeys seen around the area.

    We went from spring early last week to winter again the latter part of the week and weekend and Sunday brought warmer temperatures after a cool morning. This week promises thundershowers and rain for the first three days and then warmer temperatures and dry. This will be good for the gardeners and farmers.

    The weather is slowly moving to summer temperatures, with them being in the seventies for several days. We have had some rain, and it seems to have brought the dogwood and red bud trees into full bloom. The woods along the roads are very pretty and so many colors as the blue bells and the smaller violets are blooming along the creek banks. The farmers are beginning to get their garden plots ready for planting and I am sure that some have already planted some things. Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the...
