Here along the Northern Sycamore Urban Boundary the rainfall has been pretty sparse. If it weren’t for the three inches we got in about 2 hours one evening, we would have only received about half an inch of precious precipitation for the month.

This year is half over. Six months down, six more to go. And as of this writing, only 175 days until Christmas.
It’s been a while since I’ve whined or complained about something, and I recently encountered something multiple times that I wish to share

Sorry for the tardy post, but I’ve been on a family vacation, and away from the necessary technological devices which help make this possible. Quite refreshing, to be honest.

Seems as though it was just the other day we were battling record cold temperatures and record-breaking energy bills. And yet, here we are, one-third of the way through 2021.

I’m sure happy to rip that February page off my pickup dash calendar. That was some of the coldest weather we’ve encountered in a long time, for a long time.
