Let It Rain!

Just like the rest of the country - with the possible exception of the Pacific Northwest, I'll let Margie weigh in on that - it's bee really, really, extraordinarily dry around here this summer. Since about mid-April, actually. Yes, we've had a thunderstorm or two, but normally the rain is much more plentiful, the temperatures are more moderate and ... well, the dog-days of summer are more like 85-degree warm-waves than 100-degree heat waves.

It's been between 93 and 100 for almost a week now....
