I'm glad to hear you are doing well Bones
We have had rain all month long and almost everyday too.
Dang! Gotta go and get new batteries for the camera.
Can't do it until tomorrow.

 

[Mr. H.]

Yeah big time. haven't seen a decent rain in weeks.
Was in Asheville last week- lovely green colors like real green stuff.

SW Illinois has been totally baked. We've had less than 2" of rain in the last 2 months. We're finally supposed to get storms today and tomorrow, but it's too late for the corn and beans. The crops have been destroyed, and some farmers have already started plowing them under.

 

[MuadDib]

I'm just across the mountain from you, bones. The first part of the summer was dry, but we've had quite a bit of rain lately.

 

[Mr. H.]

A couple times a week, I see a big storm on the radar heading straight for us then... poof, it slides to the south. It's gettin' scary. The grass is long dormant (I hope not dead) but we keep the new plantings watered. Too much invested in the landscaping to let it go.

Yep in the drought.

The drought is obvously the result of homosexual activity and god punishing us.

Western Virginia is doing fine. The corn is high, the ponds are full and the streams look good. I'm sorry about the "heartland" but this year Virginia farmers should make a killing.

I live in the friggin' desert, what do you think?

 

[strollingbones]

hay prices are stable here....i always hope that is a truth....when hay prices go up...people ditch horses etc

 

[masquerade]

No, I'm not. But my lawn is less than green grass green.

Luckily, I don't have to do that. I can still run the sprinkler system, as they haven't put in any water restrictions.

yet.

 

[Mr. H.]

Hallelujah we finally got a decent soaking rain.
I ran outside and danced innit.
I danced in the garden in torn sheets in the rain...

So you're the one who stole the rain we were supposed to get yesterday and today?

LOL. There's something about the topography around here. A system will head straight for us then detour ever so slightly south. Happend last night too. But hell I'll settle for a few sprinkles at this point.

I'm starting to believe the old conspiracy theory that the Gateway Arch was built as a weather deflector. Every storm that approaches St Louis either turns north or south.

Most of the country is a "desert" right now? I hadn't noticed.

Amazing how the global warming/climate change propaganda machine has convinced so many lemmings that the entire USA is a desert.

Since U.S. history isn't taught in schools anymore, a lot of people have never heard about the 1930s "dust bowl" and the severe drought conditions that occurred then.

There are plenty of examples of CYCLICAL weather conditions that have caused severe droughts, higher numbers of tornadoes and hurricanes, and severe rainstorms and snowstorms.

The Weather Channel does a great job of promoting their global warming/climate change agenda.
