Drought

 It looks like we are in the August dry season.  According to the weather folks, our last measurable rainfall was July 26th.  There is a chance of rain next week, but we'll have to wait and see about that.  That is good for the hay farmers.  July was fairly wet for us here in central Louisiana, and now it's dry.  Two weeks doesn't make a drought, but it is a pretty good start.

I mowed this morning, and the grass isn't "crunchy" yet, but that will come soon.  The temps are supposed to me in the mid 90s today, with the heat index in the 100s.  I'm fairly sure that I'm going to stay indoors the rest of the day.
