I could not have been happier with the lovely rain last Saturday afternoon.

A couple of us were complaining about the hot, humid weather in Vineyard Grocers. Mark, the manager told us that Oman on the Arabian peninsula just set the all-time highest low temperature – 109!

Once again the weather people promised rain on Sunday and were totally off. I wish I had their job and could be wrong most of the time and still keep it.

As I recall, July is notorious for lack of rain.

I spent the entire eight-hour work day on one property doing nothing but hauling hoses around.

One would think that a garden-type person would appreciate what hot, humid weather does for the rapid growth of plants.
