Rain, rain, come today...

Finally the promised rain has come to water our parched lawn. On my morning walk with Raven, I brought along the umbrella, although we met only sprinkles with one short burst of something more than that. Raven slurped up the puddles he encountered and splashed in the rain water.

I was surprised to see a ground cover of yellow leaves (elm?) on the wooded path we walk on. With temperatures in the 90s lately, I'm certain we are not in fall weather, but maybe the heat is stressing out the trees. We still have lots of green trees, and hopefully the lawns will green up again with the advent of rain.

Unfortunately, the mugginess and high temps are forecasted to continue, at least through the day, with the possibility of severe weather. Well, as they say in Minnesota, if you don't like the weather, wait till tomorrow!

Till next time,
