We had some really good rain clouds hovering over our house a couple of days ago and I thought for sure we would get a good downpour, WRONG! It just blew on by. We are told that we are in drought crisis, the worst drought in the history of Georgia. Our lakes are drying up faster than you can blink an eye and our grass has become crunchy when you step on it.The buzz from all of the local news stations say we have only about four months of water left for human consumption. Well I say, stop sending water to Florida for those dang endangered mussels. I'm not even sure I know what a mussel is? Or if I even spelled mussel right, for that matter. Then the story on the news continued to get even better, they may have to restrict our indoor use too! Hmmm, does that mean no more long soaks in the bathtub with the water up to my neck? I'm sure my husband would be very happy if we had to start taking showers together!
Next thing they will be telling us is that we can't use the dishwasher or the washing machine. Ok, I have a solution for that.... we eat off of paper plates and we all get to go shopping for new clean clothes. Is the boss going to give us all raises at work to cover the additional shopping expenses? NOT! I guess Central Georgia has now become the new Southern California, since it never rains in either place... I just wish that if I had to have a dark cloud over my head, it would at least dump some water on me!

Very insightful thinking. That was a good picture of the dark cloud that just teased us the other day. Maybe we'll get the real thing later next week.
I do want rain but not on the day we're hosting the neighborhood party! Hold off on that rain dance- 'Kay?
IT IS RAINING HERE..............
