I've been writing this column since 2007 so in a quick math check that's 16 Julys.

Wow! The thunderstorm Monday night over to Tuesday early morning was pretty impressive.

I loved last Saturday’s rain. Some major puttering took place in my house.

The weather has been fairly typical for early June: cool at night, very little rain and some summery days.

I know some folks who were a bit cranky last weekend, what with rain (supposedly), wind and chilly temperatures.

Plan on me endlessly complaining about the lack of rain.
