Yes, we are still in a drought but it is so much better than last year. I'm so thankful. I will never take rain for granted again.

I guess there is a slight chance of rain tonight, but it's very slight. It would be so nice if we could have a downpour. Well...I'm keeping my fingers crossed for rain...as long as we get some.

We have a 60% chance during the night and 40% tomorrow. I sure hope we get some. The corn could really use the rain......plus the beans that Glen's been planting. I'll try to send any that comes our way your direction, Janet!!!!

It did rain last evening. The smell was so awesome and it just plain felt good. It really poured down for quite some time, but I'm not sure how much we got. I don't want to sound selfish, but wish it would rain again today.

I'm glad that you got some rain!! We got about .65 and we're pretty happy with that. Nate and Jaci got quite a bit more but they haven't gotten as much from the other rains that we had and they needed it. I'm like you......I was hoping yesterday for a little more but we didn't get it. It's suppose to be hotter this weekend and the rain has just made it more humid. UGH......

How are the crops doing there Diana? Here...not so good and it's a little scary. The corn looks horrible. It's not very tall and it looks a little wilted. Some fields don't look too bad at all, others...not good at all. There is some sweet corn near us and it's only about two feet tall with tassels. So weird to see it that little. I hope we can get some more rain soon.

That doesn't sound good. Sweet corn doesn't get as big as field corn but that sounds pretty short to me. Right now the crops don't look too bad but we have 15 days of hot weather with no rain ahead of us. Last year wasn't good for us.....we were so dry.....so we're hoping and praying that things are better this year. Farming is always a worry......not enough rain.....too much rain.......insects.....disease.......price is down......it's always something.
