Yaaaaa!!! It's Raining, It's Raining, It's Raining!!!!!

Janet, wish y'all could have sent some rain our way!! This is about the worst year we've ever seen for drought. I think the lack of rain is contributing to everyone here feeling so down. You would not believe the dust in our homes!! We usually have plenty of green lawns and shrubs in the city so that dust is not such an issue as it is on the farms with tilled land all around, but we've had dirt and dust in our homes in the city this year. The baptistry at church had a scum on it the other night and I mentioned it to the janitor, and he said it's the dust, he keeps chlorine in it, so it wasn't from algae or anything, it was dust. He has to drain it more frequently to keep it clean right now.

Most everything has been so brown this year. It's hard to stay cheery in a brown world. This rain should green things up nicely.
