The rain is not the problem. It's actually an accumulation of several small things, and a few major.
The big issues are the crazy cost of living, in just the few years we've been here everything has gone up, groceries alone are a nightmare. It's to "city", every month a new subdivision is getting started being built. We want space and privacy and that is steadily disappearing here.
Some of the smaller things are stuff like, we miss thunderstorms (they just don't happen here), the roads are horribly maintained, to much air traffic in our area, etc.
It's just not the place we want to put down roots.
What part of Washington State are u located...surprized to hear that groceries are high given your proximity to California, too many sub-divisions a pain....more congestion, cars...etc. too much airtraffic. Interesting, we are south of BWI, farther north of Dulles and National airports in DC and near enough Andrews AFB that we hear/see some of their activity - BUT not too intrusive.
Space.... yes... could use a lot more.
Ogh, we do have thunderstorms
Good luck in the search. We are looking for a place now in Florida.... getting killed with MD state taxes.

They just jack the prices up on everything simply because they can. I'm in Pierce county. We are relatively close to a very large military base that constantly has helicopters and those huge cargo planes but the real nuisance is the private owned planes that circle around.What part of Washington State are u located...surprized to hear that groceries are high given your proximity to California, too many sub-divisions a pain....more congestion, cars...etc. too much airtraffic.

Lewis- Mcchord joint base I think is what it is called
We did reach 110 today! It’s 5pm and unbearable. I’ve been watering the the torts down every couple of hours. Every year I say I’m going to add a above ground sprinklers on a timer for summer but it doesn’t happen.
We about 3 fires burning around San Diego with lost homes. So sad.

Good morning all. It seems the heat continues. We have been told things will turn a little cooler next week. Kathy, 110 with fires sounds awful!
In the meantime, the whole of England will be watching tv this afternoon
There is a dilemma though. The UK’s current Tennis number 1 Kyle Edmund is third on Centre Court at Wimbledon today playing Novak Djokovic. Depending on how long Rafa Nadal and Angelique Kerber take for their matches, Kyle Edmund may be playing at the same time. (Kyle’s coach is Swedish, so both he and his coach will be hoping the first two matches are long!)

....one thing...there are still tickets for Samara...but it’s too late to get there! Just read this :
10,000 tickets unsold for England game - but it's too late to get there now
Just 2,836 tickets have been sold to England supporters for the game, where they hope to see their side reach the semi-final.
The England fans have been very wary of travelling to Russia. At the Euros in 2016, Russian hooligans travelled to Marseille and there was a lot of violence against England fans. They decided to err on the side of caution and not travel.
There used to be a lot of hooliganism in English football, but thankfully that has been all but wiped out for over 20 years. However, it is still common in some countries (Russia, Turkey...) and those hooligans seem to regard England fans as good target sadly.
It was also assumed, based on past form, that there was no way England would get out of the group stages
That is so very sad hope no casualties involved.
We have had moorland fires here in various parts of the UK but haven't heard of any homes lost.
Always devastating for the ground nesting birds and wildlife too.
Wishing everyone a good downpour soon!
Gmorning all I've got the day off today going to watch some soccer! Gluck to everyone in their matches. Hope everyone has a great day. This is my start to the day
I just copy and paste pics in on my laptop.
King if all he surveys!!
Hope you are feeling better Carol. Sleep and keeping hydrated are the best things you can do - if you have the chance to sleep that is.
That looks like what I know as an amaryllis flower. I have one of those and they are beautiful but doesn't always flower.
As with all/most things grown from bulbs not safe for torts though.
Aaww thank you for the hugs. They are always welcome. Actually the no coffee is working. Yesterday i really wanted coffee so i went and bought decaffeinated which seemed to satisfy the craving. The osteopath on Wednesday night said that he could see a major shift in my body. By my upper back under my neck it has always had quite a forward curve and was very very tight. The osteopath said that curve has reduced considerably and softened. So now my lower back is being forced to work like it should be, but is protesting. So for the doc the pain is a good sign. Still far to go but it is being slowly corrected. One day at a time.[emoji3] Like your shingles it is a slow process. I am sorry to see that you are still struggling with your shingles but very glad that the homeopathic medicine is starting to take effect. Very big hugs from me to you too.EAT THE WORMS ! LOL !
Hi Carol. I have read that you are suffering pain and try to get rid of your pain killers ( and coffee ). Sorry to hear that. Let me hug you .
Maybe if it is any comfort for you I am off to coffee for a week too and I miss nothing. No one told me to avoid coffee, it was my own decision. Let me hug you once again for being without coffe my dear.
Lol. Everything is going according to plan.[emoji23] [emoji23]Oh well done Carol! Your influence continues. That’s Uruguay out of the way
