Does anyone know how to do a rain dance?

Because we are in desperate need at Casa River.

Our once beautiful lush green lawn is now brown and crunchy.

Time after time we see thunderstorms roll on by with only a few drops falling on our property.

So few the baby woodchucks were trying to lap them up off the deck boards last night.

Half our state is experiencing drought conditions and I’m filling our bird bath three times a day. If things don’t change I might have to start providing the ground dwellers with a pool as well.

How dry and crunchy is our lawn? Even the septic system access is brown and dry.

If it weren’t for the weeds there would be no green at all.

  3. Same here–our ‘rainy season’ has been a failure so far–a Sahara dust storm is keeping rain away–I am just hoping Hurricane Martin (yeah, they named one after me!) will not come and flood us!!!

  4. We had a nice surplus of rain headed into July…but what do ya know…the heat came mid-month and the sky faucet turned off at the same time. Yard is nowhere near as bad as yours looks, but if this keeps us the weeds are going to be the featured performers for us also.

  5. I’m trying to arrange to send you the rain over here. It’s been raining off and on here since the end of May. I’m really tired of it making weeds and not my grass grow. And what I mean by that is, I have grass but it’s only in patches and tons of weeds in between 😡

  8. I have never gone on a vacation where it did not rain, including ending 3 droughts. All you need do is pay our way there and back and we will come visit. I didn’t even have to dance, though I have the right blood in my veins.
    However, satisfaction cannot be guaranteed. It would be nice at least once in my life to go on a vacation and not have it rain.

      1. I’m afraid that would ruin the rain. Really. But there is one big roadblock. While I have crossed the border mamy many times, it’s actually illegal for me to be in your country. But maybe St. Stephen would be close enough. Lol.

      1. Same. Our only significant rain in a year was back in Dec.. 5.75 inches. We had less than 8″ in the entire rainfall year. Dunno how much longer we’ll be able to sustain people.

      1. …….when I see people watering during the day? I just want to shake them. Not only does most of the water evaporate? It sunburns the plant!
