Then come to me and in return I'll send lots of rain to Gail because we have plenty over here. Yesterday it rained when I woke up and it rained when I went to bed late at night and in between it rained non stop. Buckets, stair rods, cats and dogs, incessantly, relentlessly.

Our temps are getting better. It is around eleven at night here and the temp is a comfortable 70. But in a few days it is going down to 58. I'll probably freeze.

We are getting the lightest sprinkle right now, just enough to keep me from going out and not enough to do any good to the garden. Leaving the water on for hours seems to do little good, but it keeping things alive and less droopy.

I DO wish you some rain... I know all too well how it effects everything when there is a lack of rain. Dusty and garden just don't go together.<BR/><BR/>Having said that... the weather you are having would be hard to pass up since we only get a day here and there without humidity this time of year. It's a great relief when we have a few days without it which makes all of life better. :-)<BR/><BR/>Maybe some of the rain on the East Coast right now will make it your way... we can hope right?<BR/><BR/>Have a fun weekend!Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.com
