Well, in the state I live in, over the past month (beginning of June), we have had 10 inches of rain! That's more than what we usually have in a year (not including snow of course XD)! Well, you'd usually think, "Why is she complaining? Rain is good!" I have a reason. All the farmers that live in my city don't like it. It drowns all their crops, meaning instead of profitting, they actually lose, since it's too late in the season to replant, and even if it were, are you going to spend that much money on buying new crops? Case in point: My neighbor has about 10 acres worth of fields. All the crops were doing well until we started to get rain. At first, he's like "Yay! My crops will get big now and I'll make more money!" But then it rained...and rained...and rained some more. Now, half of his crops are under at least 3 inches of rain, seeing how his fields go like this: ---_---, so the watergathers in one place. It's at least ruined 1/3 of his crop.

My mom's flowers are dying (;o; Pwetty flowers too...), and our garden is -probably- dead (seeing how we planted late - we always plant late, and don't ask why, 'cause I don't know XD). Which, in turn, leads to us buying from the store, so we lose money (even if the store gains it o.o). IMO, this will in turn lead to veggie prices jumping, since they will be in demand, because, well, you know.

Just thought I'd post that as a random tidbit for your day. I don't know if it'll stay open, but hey. I just wanted to tell you that. ^_^

Right now in PA we are in the middle of a heat wave, and it's the first time in years we have had a warm June. Man is hot...

Wow that sad. Poor flowers and crops. :(
Well I hope it stop soon. If it keeps raining it may flood your whole city.
We've already gone under a flash flood warning, just our city. We got 4 inches of rain that night. =\

We've been getting rain here in Florida nearly everyday since late May.(thundering a bit now) There's little chance that we will go one day without this rain for a while. (especially with this hurricane season, causing lots of weird weather effects) Been getting fl00ds, Tornado warnings and etc. (effects from some hurricane that may not reach us) Personally I love the rain a lot, it brings me in a relaxed m00d... but then again, we're getting storms and water constantly which is not needed. Sorry about your moms flowers, lots of people are losing great gardens.

My sympathies to your community's farmers except the ones that grow tobacco, if any =/. We've had just the opposite here in Ohio, almost no rain. There was some mist today, but that's been it for weeks, a small midnight shower the other night aside. At times I wish it would rain, as it decreases the humidity for a short time, but rain in the summer usually heralds more severe weather around here.

Kansas is like this too. Or at least lately.
We've had tons of thunderstorms, and that means alot of rain :/ The creeks are getting pretty full, and there's little flooded places everywhere.
Sorry to hear about the crops and the flowers. ;_;

Ugh, it rains like every day here this June! Yesterday, we had a giant downpour during azure blue skies. The poor gardeners got caught in it. And when I was on the track, farthest side from my school, it began raining and thundering and I had to run all the way back. Gawd, the sky right now is the color of the thing right next to where you post on Forest Grovyles legendarys.

We've had poor weather for the past few weeks, too. Everything here seems to be clearing up now and the sun is shining as I type this, so hopefully we're finally getting some decent weather. I hope you do, too! ;)
