    Default We need rain here in New York State!

    Boy we sure do need some rain! Everyone's grass is more yellow than green now. My rose bushes are starting to look a little "sick". I have been watering them every day but with the heat and humidity and no rain...they don't look great. Thank God for air conditioning...and power!

    I hope God blesses us with some RAIN.

    I'm getting pretty tired of the heat.. I gave the dog a bath, and took him out to dry off, and warm up.. He promptly lied down on the grass, and rolled until he smelled like the out doors.. What a guy.. Ughh

    I think we must be having all the rain in the UK! Never known so much water - floods, bruised plants and flowers from the force of the rain, very little warmth or sun! I have to check the weather forecast to decide when to take my little dogs out - they are white mini bichons so getting soaked is something I try to avoid when I can as it is so much work getting them cleaned up and dried off! Hope you get some rain soon, Sheila

    Even here in Florida, where we're supposed to have rain every afternoon, we need rain. Humidity has been much lower than usual, it's been hot & dry, and very bearable. We hate to complain about nice weather, but if we don't get our rain now, we sure won't get it in the dry season.
