In reply to: Sandy 's message, "The weather guys had made mention of the possibility thunderstorms moving through in the afternoon in conjunction with a cold front. At 2 p.m., everything still looked fine so I headed for the tub for a soak. When Gerry came home, I asked him to please take care of the birdbaths and feeders so the driveway would have time to dry before the kids got here. He got outside and then came back in, telling me (as I'm soaking in a tub of bubbles) that the tornado sirens were going off. He turned on the TV and there were tornadoes in our county, but north of us. I told him I wasn't moving from the tub so those twisty things had better just stay north. Well, they did and all we got was some rain. But on the east side of town, they got almost 3 inches of rain!! It made for an interesting start to our festivities. From what I've heard, there was no damage from any of the tornadoes or funnels that were spotted and it cooled things off outside so we didn't sweat so badly during fireworks." on 6:23:51 am, Thu, 07/05/07

I know what you mean, Denise. It doesn't seem to matter how much rain we get (or don't get) because when it gets this hot, it all dries out anyway. Granted, I'm glad we don't have the flooding that they're showing on the news down in Coffeyville and Fredonia but we could use some rain too. I was out this morning and it's miserable even though I tried to get as much done as possible as early as possible. I hope you're managing to stay cool today.
