When The Rain Comes

click on the image to look for sunspots!It hasn't really been raining forever; it just seems like it has. The garden and lower yard have grown wildly out of control - - since my mower and trimmer and weedeater are all electric, rain puts yard work out of commission. Well, darn!
Anyhoo - - we had rain 6 of the last 7 days of July, bringing the total for the month to 7.46 inches (the long-term July average for Richlands is 4.38 inches). This time last year, the Clinch River was way too low for comfort - - that's the town's water supply - - but now it's full. Hopefully, the water tables have gotten some recharge; we're coming off five years of drought.
High temperature for July was 85̊F, low was 52̊F. Nice.
;)
click on the image to search for hurricanes!Maybe a more important story is where it hasn't been raining. That would be along the southeast coast owing to hurricanes - - which haven't been there. But according to global warming theory, we should be battered by monster hurricanes.
Oops.
Well, how about this one . . . the wheat crop in Cananda is down. Because it is too cold.
Oops.
The image in the upper right is the face of the Sun on July 28. See all the sunspots?
Not!
