Rain, rain go away.....come again some other day

We are going to be 95-100 for at least 7 days out, with no chance for rain. It looks horrible here, every thing that is not watered, is dead and brown. The sides of the roads look awful. We probably won't get any rain till a tropical storm or hurricane comes into the coast. When that happens, I have to worry about my kids in Houston. I just can't win for losing!!!

We need rain soooo badly. It's horribly dry. The farmers are having a really bad year, and the ranchers are spending all their money on feed since there is no grass. It's strange how some have too much water and others are in such need.

The twisters can go away from all of us though!!!

I feel guilty to post this, but I am going to the pool today! It's just beautiful and sunny here, with a chance of rain this afternoon (as always). Our pool is on top of the mountain. The view is magnificent, the sun is strong up there, and the pool is heated. I am taking my mp3 player and am going to lay on a lounge and listen to the audiobook I uploaded into the player. I may take my Kindle that I just bought tomorrow.

Okay, so now that I have told you all about the perfect spot to spend summer, please remember that when winter comes, and we have 10 feet of snow for months on end, and no sun ever, you are enjoying better winters.

I got a portable air conditioner on eBay last year. I used it over the weekend, and what a difference! It really cuts the humidity and cools my downstairs off enough to be quite comfy. We usually have cool nights and mornings, but there are usually a few days and nights of heat wave weather.

Don't feel quilty!! You do have a long winter so enjoy!!! I think that the pond is starting to get warm enough to swim in.....anyway that's what the girls told me!!!

How nice that you don't need an airconditioner all the time!!! I bet that really saves on utilities!!!

I'm getting where I really can't tolerate the heat well. I hope that it's just part of the change and I'll get through it becuase I just about die without the AC!!!!

Oh don't feel guilty at all Judy! Our winters here are like a trip to Disneyland everyday, compared to the winters that you have to endure. We are just in a severe drought here right now so that makes everything feel ten times worse. The drought will break, it always does, but this one is going to take its toll.

I'm so glad you have such a wonderful place to spend your summers, you deserve it after putting up with winter up there!

Enjoy!

Thanks Gayle! It was so lovely yesterday lying out at the pool. There were 3 women there for a while, and then, just me. Peaceful as can be!!

I think I'll go back today.

Gayle, I hope you get some rain soon. It's no fun when there's a drought.....not just for you but the farmers and such that make a living off of the ground.
