Many of the Southern Parts of the US are being flooded. My (wish it were) second home, Ireland, has been especially hard hit with torrential rains yet here we sit in the MidWest dry as a moan.
To cheer myself, I sprayed water on some of my flowers one day when it looked like it would rain, but did not, and pretended it had indeed showered. Usually when you water your garden it rains.
It didn't help. We even left the mower outside and the windows up. Still no rain for over 10 days again. And the last time we got it, it didn't amount to much.
Tomorrow, is Sunday of course so all you get is soap stories but on MONDAY I'll tell you all about Printer Row Lit Fest in Chicago. It was amazing. Much more exciting than the No Rain story. Stay tuned.
WGN showed Ricki Lake and her book about burger. I looked for you in the background, but you must have been center stage.
ReplyDeleteRaining here this morning. Perfect timing. Sun tomorrow please.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...we washed our cars, left the laundry out to dry and left the mowers out also in an attempt to tempt Mother Nature into blessing us with some rain. No dice. I think today we'll try a rain dance.
ReplyDeleteoh, i was hoping that was real rain! i know the pain of drought (after last year here in texas).
ReplyDeleteThe time between measurable rainfall here in New Mexico is often measured in months. So cheer up, it could always be worse!
ReplyDeleteI am trying all the tricks too. Using the outside oven, washing the car, cutting hay! How can it not rain when the hay is cut! That just shows how bad this stretch of dryness is. I believe it was May 2 since we had more than a few piddles fall from the sky. I guess I have to perfect my rain dance.
ReplyDeleteIt is either drought or drown in the Midwest. We lived near Quincy, IL, and usually had the floods.
