And it is looking very tattered now.<br />We still haven't had any rain, although the clouds look very ominous. And the wind continues to blow.<br /><br />Hi, Redbush! We could certainly use some rain - a nice warm, gentle rain. And then some nice warm summery days with little or no wind!

I agree that we need the rain badly, but, some warmer weather wouldn't hurt either.

I love the fact that you have mystery lilacs growing. Maybe they were planted by some young native girl hundreds of years ago (well many anyway). You could make a story out of them, do a bit of research on the area.<br /><br />We have had a few overnight showers, but not enough to make a big difference. I hope we all get some rain soon.Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-23808821840287541222009-07-01T10:26:19.807-06:002009-07-01T10:26:19.807-06:00Charlotte - I love lilacs, too!

Maybe I should do that, too! :) A whole week off in July sounds great. <br /><br />Missicat - because July 1st is in the middle of the week this year, there's no long weekend. Most people work 2 days, get today off, then work 2 more days.<br /><br />Messymimi - thanks! That's my second biggest fear - it'll start raining and not know when to quit!(My first fear, of course, is that it won't rain at all.)<br /><br />dfTerrie - Thanks! Canada was "born" in 1867, so she's 142 today. <br /><br />My poor flag is soon going to be minus one red panel... but it's nasty cold and windy out today, so I haven't yet put the new one up.

They like to play little tricks like that, don't they?<br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentucky - it is really bad. There are some areas in Alberta where the hayfields (and pastures)didn't grow at all! The ranchers there have had to feed their cattle hay this summer, the price of which has skyrocketed.<br /><br />Thanks, cousin. It is very cloudy here this morning, but still nothing has fallen from the sky.
