Rain

I guess we are extremely fortunate to between the drought to the west, and the floods to the east and north of us. Right now, I'm not sure it could be more perfect here in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia.

I figure my pond is a good indicator. It has been either just above, or just below the overflow pipe since about March. Got about another half-inch of rain last night. Not too hot, not to cool. The corn is 3 to 4 foot high. Most everybody is just finishing, or has already finished this cutting of hay.

Got 2 1/2 inches last night in the most beautiful Midwest thunderstorm. It was like standing in a shower. I was out cleaning the maple seeds out of the gutters so they would drain. I was soaked. Rain bouncing off the roof, and I loved every minute of it. Water was warm and coming down heavy.

It has been very dry here in the my part of the Ozarks. In fact I saw a tree chasing a dog the other day. But thankfully we are in the middle of a good ole' summer thunderstorm. So far 2.5" and still raining. It has come down so fast that there are flash flood warnings out for this area. Imagine, dry one minute and flooding the next. Oh well that's the Ozarks for ya

I'm only about 20 miles east of BillBill, but it's pretty green around here. The last few days we've had some showers, and my pond's not drying up, so it's just about the right amount for summer I guess. The humidity's sky high tho - yuck!
