Someone wake me! We got rain in Forsyth!


Mid July and most of the media out there is lamenting over the worsening drought picture for the Central US. To hear them talk, we’d be luck to see ANY rainfall before Christmas (OK, maybe I am exaggerating a bit).

Not true, at least for my little spot on planet earth near Forsyth Missouri! We had a nice steady rain this morning (July 14) that measured .44 inches. The combined with the previous rainfall comes to 1.28 inches or about half of the normal 3.15 inches that falls during a ‘normal’ July.  Now, while this will by no means break the drought, it’s still better than nothing. Only downside in my mind will be the need now to cut the grass. Something I haven’t had to do since late June!
