Too much rain!!

For us, I think it only rained one day in june. That was'nt very long either. So far, I think 2 days of july. One each week.
Our yard is brown. Did'nt get very much in may,also.
I've only mowed twice since the 2nd week of may.

Too much rain!!

First it was too much rain, now we don't have any? We could probably use some about now.

People who say it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

I find this kinad ironic, when all the wheat crops were growing and farmers were hoping for rain the sky was dry, now most crops are cut and framers were hoping the skys would be dry, instead there is quite a bit of rain.

"I am in Houston and we got washed away with Tropical Storm Allison....... Now we are getting hammered by B-52 sized mosquitos. I have not been bitten like this years. Take the rain away...please."

Ditto what Mike said... Around our neck of the woods, no rain is MUCH better than any at all. Evereytime we get rain for more than a day, we're all living on beachfront property.
besides, rainy days keep us from working on our trucks.

Although, rainy days=MUD. You don't need to work on your truck until you break something in the mud! By that time, the rain is gone.

Too much rain!!

We had 6.15 inches here in Apex, NC on the evening (6 p.m. to midnight) of July 4th, 2.5 inches during in just over an hour on the 7th and another couple of inches scattered between the 5 and the 11th.

Now we're having a drought; no rain for four days.

FOUR DAYS???? Is that all? We haven't had any measurable rain since Allyson came through. Yahoo... more time under the truck.

Too much rain!!

Last night had severe thunder storms heading towards us. Lightning,thunder,clouds,wind. This went on for a couple of hours. Just before the storm reached my area,it split in half.
Part towards so.IN and part towards se.MO. Stood out in it for
an hour or so...a whole two drops fell on me.
