Well, as you've probably heard by now, there is a tropical storm threatening the lower Texas coast! There is a chance that some of the moisture will make it here, but since I just read that a ridge is supposed to develop over us and push the storm track westward, I am not as sure of rain making it here.
How's that for a long-winded sentence?
Check out the details here, on the Weather Underground!
Right now I think our best chance of good rain will be from tropical systems. We're really praying that this one helps us out! The heat is sometimes almost unbearable. We wait until almost dark to take our nightly walk, and even then we get all sticky from the leftover heat, and humidity.
Only 3 more months until we can start looking forward to 50's at night! ;)

Heat
It was 103 today. You know how when you open the oven, a blast of hot air hits you in the face? That's how it felt today, going from indoors to the outside. WHEW!
Thunderstorms keep teasing us, moving by on the east and west of us. I remember one summer we had a terrible drought. It was so dry for so long, we were pretty discouraged. One evening after dinner, we noticed a cloud moving by on the east. It was a very dark cloud, and looked quite promising!
So we did what every self-respecting human would do when it hasn't rained for 3 entire months. We drove 45 minutes just to get in the rain! It didn't rain on our house, but it made us feel better to see that there was rain within driving distance. ;)

I know it's useless to complain about something I can't control, but it's hard!
It's 12:10am and it's 81 degrees outside.
I found out again today that waiting until evening to mow the grass does not mean the air will be cooler. Getting up early in the morning is a better idea, but I don't think the neighbors would enjoy the sound of a mower and weed-eater at 7am. Plus I am too lazy to get up at 7am unless it's for something really important. (Like choir! But in that case I get up at 6!)
Only 4 more months of hot weather! You know, I wouldn't mind the blistering heat as much if we had real winters that included that white stuff called snow..... ;)

Well, the hoped-for rain didn't last. The forecast is for heat, heat, and more heat. Did I mention it's supposed to be hot? Please pray along with us that we wouldn't have a severe drought!
