It is going to be 110 degrees here the next four days, so it is familiar now. Sadly, rain is something we will not see for awhile. Thanks for the reminder Hank.

We seem to be having a fairly rainy summer here. I know you all need it to the west. My brother is coming up from Florida to travel with me to Mt. Rushmore. We'll be hitting the road about August 16. I hope it's a little cooler by then.

Thanks, Krish. I love the warm sunshine, but some folks really do need some rain. Thanks.

It is so sad that they have been hard hit by the hot and dry weather. It definitely needs a downpouring. Maybe we as Americans who believe in God need to be praying for relief for our fellowman and for our country. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

I can well relate to your poem, Milton. Here in Malta we've just had a heat wave and everywhere is dry; I would gladly welcome some rain! ~ Regards // paul

Thanks, Gina. I hope the dry places get some rain. It would help fight the forest fires fires out west.

I would if I could. I'm planning a driving trip out west, and I've been warned to take along lots of water with me.

We will have to send some of our rain from here. :)

It seems to me that we've had lots of rain this summer. Wish I could transfer some of it. Thanks for your comment.
