Next chance is a week away and before then we're supposed to have 104 degree temps. Man, we cannot catch a break!......Mel

The trees leaves are turning brown and falling off. I loose a few trees every year to heat and no rain. James

For the sake of you you guys the rain gods need to get this sorted out. Our 'normal' dry month, July has had rain about every other day............I think I could grow rice on the back of our property if it did not drown first.

The west coast had a real wet winter. Steve
