I don’t know if your area has been affected by lack of rain, but I was just about to start doing a rain dance here in Toronto because it had been so long since we had rain.
We went from sometime near the end of August until the 21st of September without rain. 24 or 25 days!
I’m sure those without gardens or lawns didn’t mind the lack of rain, but anyone who tries to keep a nice yard or garden was probably longing for rain.
That’s a long time when you have a thirsty garden! I guess it’s a good thing that we weren’t having typical warm Toronto temperatures during that time as the cooler temps (especially at night – one night went down to 6 C (42 F)) made it easier on the plants water needs.
During this time the city even put out a request asking residents to water trees near their property. I’ve never heard a request like that from the city.
We haven’t had much rain over the last three days … just a few short showers or sprinkles, but it helps! I do hope that we get a good rain before we go into another dry period.
How’s the weather in your area? Have you been hoping for rain too?
It has been really dry here in Florida as well. The environment is changing whether people want to believe it or not.
We’ve had so much rain in Western New York it’s been awful and to this day we still have a lot of rain..I’m so sick of it.
Talk about wierd weather everywhere..

We have had some strange stuff too. It was around 80 in Denver, Co this weekend.
And last Sunday it snowed and was 20 degrees in the mountain. Odd.

Let me tell you, it’s been raining here like crazy. I’m here in Seattle; it was nice to have a really decent summer with very little rain. It gets really rainy in November, like REALLY rainy.
The drought in the south has been getting really bad. Hopefully you all get a really good downpour!
