A rainy night in Georgia
September 12th, 2007 by adminBelieve it or not its raining in North Georgia tonight. This is one of the driest summers on record. We have had over 30 days wit 90+ temps and topping out at 102 for about a week of those 30. We have not had any rain ,with the exception of a pop up thunder boomer every now and then. I think we are supposed to get the rain here for maybe 3 days consecutive.This will help and be appreciated but our deficit is so large that we still need rain for a couple of weeks to really make a big difference. I have never had a real good stand of grass in my yard ,it’s mostly just green stuff, weeds and some grass, It;s been so hot and dry, my weeds are dying out. I guess I will aerate the yard this fall and re seed to see if I can get a lawn for the following spring.
A rainy night in Georgia is a good thing and needed so badly, our crops have already had the damage done to them and the farmers who have put their hard work into the land are being penalized for the dry conditions that they have no control over. Could it be that Mother Earth is a little upset with the abuse we have placed upon her, or do we just need the rain?
