A friend of mine posted this photograph and I got a giggle out of it. It’s a photo of a Texas and Oklahoma rain gauge. We all have one! Of course, we have to laugh out here in the midwest. Otherwise, we’d just cry. Crying doesn’t even work because as one Texas friend pointed out, our tears just evaporate before they roll down our cheek. It is so hot and dry. I know I sound like a broken record, but my goodness. We’ve never seen anything like this. I wasn’t around during the Dust Bowl so this is a whole new experience!! If you will notice, there’s no water in the rain gauge either!! |

Jeez, are ya’ll gonna get any of the rain from tropical storm Don? Hope the rain dance works for you REAL soon!
Gosh…wish I could send our rain down your way. We have had the rainiest (and hottest too..ugh) summer up here in Utah that I can remember since we moved here 9 years ago…pouring rain right now…lots of lightning and thunder too…and it is as dark right now as it usually is at 9pm..its only 5:30. Seems like it comes on in the evenings and then is just clear during the day….getting old now but the garden seems to love the combo of hot and wet. HUMID is not normal for Utah though. I will try to think of a rain dance to divert rain down to OK , okay?
Have a wonderful week!
Nope. Ol’ Don “dun runnoft”. What do you expect? He’s a man. 🙂
I’m looking for the rain dance instructions online!!
I guess I will have to get me one of those since I live in East Texas. It would have never filled up in the rain that we have had in the last 2 months.
Us too!! So hoping that at least you all will be getting some tropical storms and then send them our way!!
