We've finally been getting some rain up here. Nice soaking rain today, light shower yesterday. Then a deluge a few days ago. We went around two months with barely a drop of rain prior to things breaking loose. All the dogwoods were drooping and about ready to dry up.

Of course, Connie and I had put in a bunch of fruit trees and she started a raised garden bed out in back of the garage, so we had to be watering everything nearly constantly. The birds would follow us around to see where we were going to turn on the water so they could take their showers.

Looks like we've got your share as well as our own. I think we've had 1 day of sunshine in the
past 23 days...........temps are down in the 50's and low 60's too. Cold, wet, and miserable
does NOT make it at the end of June. Man if I could figure out how to work a trade,..........
I would be a millionaire!

That's probably our fault. Connie and I have been talking about doing some travelling and I mentioned driving up to Bar Harbor (or Bah Habah as I've heard it pronounced) for some lobster. We also talked about going to Arizona and New Mexico, and look what happened there. We discussed going to Louisiana, and about that time the Mississippi went into major flood stage.

Now we're afraid to even think about just staying home.....

Yeah, I've seen that happen here as well. I will watch the radar and see storms literally split in half to go around us, not giving us a drop of rain.

Getting a real soaker today. And had a pretty good downpour yesterday as well. The treefrogs certainly sound happy.

I got a very light rain for four hours Sunday AM that added up to about .30" and half a inch this morning. Not any soakers, but at least it wet the grass.
