Ominous skies.

31 Comments

.

July and August are hot and dry months in Maine.

.

.

Our verdant green grass is browning in spots and I’m constantly hoping for rain.

.

.

My flowers are thirsty and I can only imagine how much water our farming neighbor is pumping on his fields.

.

.

With the high heat comes afternoon thunderstorms.

.

.

But not for us.

.

.

We sit on the porch and sadly watch them roll on by.

.

.

Not one drop fell on our property from this boomer.

.

.

Talk about a missed opportunity.

  1. My mother spins the same sad tale.

    Sometimes she messages me that she’s really hoping for rain and it looks like it might hit her region, and later complains that not a single drop fell from the sky. Meanwhile, 30 minutes east of her region, we get drenched in Toronto.

    It’s odd, the weather.

  3. We had rain almost everyday it seemed for months – now come to think of it, August hit, the temps went way down, the humidity went way down, I haven’t had the a/c on the whole month of August, and – No Rain.

  6. We had rain every other day in June and July here, its was hard to adjust to since we’ve gone three years with a drought. The mountains here are usually gray/purple but this summer they are green and even had poppies bloom. But with all the rain, so come all the weeds and every other day pulling them out so they don’t take over the yard. That rain storm looked like it would hit you eventually, sorry to hear it didn’t.

  12. Yet the clouds look so promising and not a drop of rain. It happens here too. The storms go around our peninsula. The community laugh and say we have a protective invisible dome over us! The grass looks verdant – do you need rain?
