I’m not one to bitch about the weather…but I’m going to make an exception for today.
It’s been damn hot! It’s been fever hot! It’s been hotter than an automatic weapon in a pawn shop!
And we haven’t had rain in over a month.
For a brief moment yesterday, we had a downpour. At the office. I drove the 3 minutes to my house, and not one drop had fallen. My yard still looked like a golden african savannah. Each morning I walk on my grass hoping to see at least a hint of dew…something in liquid form. But nothing. Of course, as the yellow grass crunches beneath my feet, I worry a crouching lion will pounce on me and eat me for breakfast.
But this morning was different. This morning I woke to the roar of a waterfall on my roof.
Yes, it’s raining. Lots.
And I am so grateful. Guess my little raindance helped. I just hope the gods don’t come to collect my first born. I really didn’t mean that part of the bargain…

We haven’t had rain here in weeks. My tomatoes will NOT turn red. I’m starting to get a little angry. Geez, even the Soaps have picked up on it–GH was having heat wave/brown out storylines all week. Now that’s the sign of a national trend.

Well, you can move to Florida if you want a little rain. Although I have to admit, it’s been a little seasonally dry here as well. But at least I haven’t had to water the grass this summer. Which I can only thank God for since my electric bill was over $500 this month:((

We need rain over here, too. It’s awful. Lawns are all dead, and horrible for the farmers. UGH

We’ve had the sprinklers going a LOT and still, brown spots in our lawn everywhere. But the skies are full of beautiful dark clouds this morning, so there’s hope for rain!
