Looks like some much needed rain is in our forecast for the next few days. It has been very dry lately. So much so that the vegetable garden plants have had wilted leaves, due to the lack of rain and extreme summer temperatures. Hopefully we will receive the precise amount of rain that we need without any flooding. Regardless, let’s continue to be thankful that things are as well as they are.
