Rain much?





So what's going on with our weather this year?
Last summer, at least here east of Rochester.. we had
an extreme drought...and mowing was maybe a
couple of times over the summer..

This year: complete opposite. We have maybe one
or two decent days, then four, five, six or more
of rain to follow that.  It's been tough on local
farmers this year.. usually most things were in
the ground the first week in May...I saw yesterday,
first week of June, some guys just getting out to
plant... it's going to be a tough year for them.

I expect the grape crop will be good, although
they do need lots of sunny days to go with the
rain.

Things are so unpredictable anymore... is it
just the way it is or is it my interpretation?

Not sure....maybe it's the age thing.

Theme for the summer; keep the umbrella handy.
