We're Having a Heat Wave!
"Were having a heat wave....
A tropical heatwave...."
that's how the song goes.

Hot.
Humid.
No appreciable rain.
My rain barrels are dry.
Let's hope the well doesn't follow suit!

A rain dance!!
Let's hope they have some luck!
If you know any rain dances, will you do one for us, too??

I need at least 6 extra hours in each day.
Any of you have any time to spare??
If so, ship it my way, please!
Have a great day.
I promise to have more fun stories the rest of the week.
But for now...
I'm off to do a rain dance!!
