Rain Rain Go Away......

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We beg of you.. Ok this year 2015 has probably been a record year for rainfall here in Indiana. Late Winter was marked by one snow storm after another...the gloom was beginning to get to all of us...Thankfully Spring came and the sun began to shine....Then the spring rain started with April being one of the wettest in the history of my town, with some 20 plus inches for April...Wow! May was actually pretty dry...weird considering May is usually our wettest month... But Hey, nothing about this year has been especially normal...SO I digress..... June was wet, and July so far has been even wetter. This morning alone we had almost 4 inches of rain, this past Friday we had 3 inches of rain. I think we've had like 45 inches of rain so far and It's only July!!!! And that's the average year total...UHHHHH??? What's going on??? It's like Nature is turning against us!! I peer out the window and watch the rain pounding down my petunias, and bringing the tomato plants to the ground...ponding, puddling, flash flood alerts blowing up my phone....and the poor farmers...Oh don't forget about them. The newspapers are filled with stories of all the hardships our Indiana farmers are going threw this horrific growing season. I hear entire fields have been lost, and that ducks have taken up permanent residence in the corn fields? Strange UH???? The week long forecast is just more of the same....Rain, Rain, and more Rain....Thunderstorms...high winds...and yes more rain.... Come on Nature cut us some slack?????
