Burn Ban

[DianaB]

That's not good to be dry going into summer. I feel sorry for the farmers there. I'm sure it's a big worry. We had a bad year last year and we're worried about it being dry again. We did have a little over an inch of rain last week so it helped but we still have summer ahead of us. I figured that you probably got some because the rain that passes here usually heads your way.

A burn ban is a lot harder than a water ration. I remember that you had that last year, Gayle. I know that things are better but aren't you still in a drought area? I know that a tropical depression would be really good for you.....in rain anyway! Sometimes they push up here and we get rain as well.

I hate this extreme weather!!!

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.

[DianaB]

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.
