    Glad you are getting rain. We need it here too, but not today--the NASCAR race at Watkins GLen got postponed.

    Be careful what you ask for ...you just might get it. I am in Southern Ontario, it rained almost every day here for about 2 months this Spring. The paddocks and pastures were so wet the horses just about needed water wings. We had mud everywhere, farmers couldn't get crops planted and crops that did get put in rotted and had to be replanted. A lot of farmers will be happy just to break even this year. I hope you get the rain you need just not too much.

    We've gotten some sprinkles, but really need more soon. It was cooler today, but right back up there tomorrow. We own cattle and the pastures are dried up, the ponds are drying up and we are going to have to start feeding this week. We have enough hay to last through November and any round bales to be had are being shipped in and are $90 to $100 per bale! That is over twice what we were paying earlier in the year. We've sold off about 30 head, but still have too many to get through the winter. Anyway, rain...rain...and more rain is what we need. I feel for those of you who have gotten too much and would love to take some of it off your hands!

    We've had some rain here in Northeast Ark in the last few days. The temperature has dropped and it's bearable now. Glad you've gotten some much needed rain.

    I have my pictures on my phone right now, lol.
    Got to have proof it really exists.
