    I'm sorry you've had a rough year but, what I would give for pouring rain. We've had no rain this summer. Everything is dry and crunchy, and HOT! Please send our way! lol Our fall colors will be brown and ugly this year.

    BTW, I love your avatar! I just love fall colors! My favorite time of year (well not right now, will be like 95 here again today :thumbdown: )

    I am north of you in Minnesota. I am sure you have heard about the places that had 10 inches and still raining. At 7 this morning we had 4 and it has been raining, pouring all day. What a mess this will be for the farmers. It just put harvest out about another 4 weeks provided it does not rain anymore. May have to wait till frost, and there was a beautiful crop ot there. Time will tell I guess. Need lots of prayers now.

    I'm in NE Wisconsin and there are flood watches everywhere. Luckily we only got 2 1/2" in the past 24 hours, but more is expected tonight.

    Our staff got snowed in in Atlanta for a week many years ago. It was colder in Atlanta than Anchorage.
