One Thing about Storms

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Dayphoto

They CAN produce beautiful sunsets!

It’s raining here, but the weather man says we are going to warm up this weekend. That will be very good. The farmers are all having trouble with the crops, too much rain (and wind), the ground is still cold, and the irrigation water has been cut back a month too early.

Oh, well…that’s how some years go.

That sunset photo is a beauty. I know how rain at the wrong time puts planting and growing behind. Too bad each farmer couldn’t order rain like they order irrigation water. Our rivers are running extra high so the canals are full, even though the farmers don’t need to irrigate in all this rain.

Storms do provide dramatic skies and sunsets. Sorry to hear the weather is not being kind to the hard working farmers.

Howdy Linda!

I’ve been gone from blogging with the move and all. I also have moved my blog over to Blogger. Be sure to jump over and take a look and *follow* my new blog. http://www.crazyforthecountry.blogspot.com

Oh how I wish we had some storms down here. It’s so stinking dry. I’ve never experienced a drought in my life but this down right is awful 😦
