Marilyn, I sure hope that you get some of the rain!! I know how desperately you're needing it!!

Up here we have those "whirlwinds" only we call them dust devils. They're caused by the hot and dry weather. Glen and I watched one go across several fields just the other day. You must have had a pretty good sized one for it to have picked up your umbrella from the stand on your table!!! Too bad that it ruined your umbrella.
