Looking out the french doors in the kitchen this morning as I read my email and check the news I am amazed at the difference a couple of weeks of hit and miss rain can make.
Everything in view is green again. The grass is growing like it should have been a month ago. From the looks of things, I’ll be making the rounds on the John Deere sometime this weekend if the weather allows. The Fourth was quite wet, thank God.

The prognosticators are already talking about the first of the seasons tropical systems forming off the coast of Africa. Earliest storm formed there in the half century we’ve had satilites watching what we couldn’t see before.
