@goldensrbest   We've been under severe drought for over 20 years.  This rainy season has only alleviated it a bit.  Our biggest reservoir in the state is at 14% capacity.  The Rio Grande at Albuquerque was so dry you could walk across it two weeks ago.

Would love to be in Albuquerque or Colorado Springs today, instead of San Antonio.

@kze   I'm NOT trading places with you but come on up.

It's rainy season here in Florida, but someone forgot to tell the weather god in charge of my location  It has rained 30 miles south of here as well as 20 miles north, but too seldom here in my 20 miles swath.  With our sandy soil, I could water an hour after many of the rains we do get.

Still hot and ugly humidity in Connecticut. I never thought I'd say it, but I wish the sun would go away for awhile.

@Kachina624  64° and cloudy here.  We had some drizzle this morning.  Just made a batch of sourdough chocolate chip cookies.  DH loves them and I haven't baked them all summer.  They come out soft and cake like.  We are enjoying the cooler temps too..

We used to go to Indian Market quite often.  It's a beautiful event.....DW

We all know that California has been having a drought for years, and there's no end in sight.  Since Central CA is predominantly farm land it feeds a lot of the country.  Bringing in water is expensive, but necessary, and it affects not only quantities produced, but food prices.

If anyone has any extra water, please send it to the farms in Central California.  They will gladly take whatever you have to give.

We are positively giddy here in Dallas-Ft. Worth with the forecast of rain starting Sunday and going all the way through Thursday. Temperatures in the 80s - way below normal. Not a drought-buster but significant -- in fact, we are being warned about the potential for flooding.

This has been a crazy weather year just about everywhere! My relatives in NY Hudson Valley are in danger of having their well go dry. Friends in the Midwest have been riding a meteorological rollercoaster, too.
