Myra and Rosemary,
Sorry y'all are still suffering from the drought. We also had drought
conditions here this year, but have caught up this past week
with Dennis sitting over us for so long. It has rained and rained
here this past 2 weeks, and finally the weather man says that
tomorrow will be mostly sunny. He said he felt strange saying
that as it had been so long. It did help to keep our temps down
which was nice. :-)
It rained again today, but nothing like it's been doing for the past
2 weeks. :-) We got 5 inches in one 24 hour period that I
noticed. In spite of our drought, we're ahead now on rainfall
for the year due to the rain we've had recently and the flooding
we had this past winter.......if only we could spread it out evenly
over the year. :-)
Best,
Bambi
