Now there is a chance for some rain. We should cross our fingers and hope it arrives. We can sure use it. Nicely cloudy so far this morning, looking a bit like it could possibly rain. It’s strange starting to think of Fall already and wonder what the weather will be for that season. Seems – even though Summer has been a proper one – hot and Summery – we are nearing the end of August already. How can that be possible? The Old Farmer’s Almanac does seem to hold out promise for our next couple of seasons. Perhaps not so cold as they could be, maybe not so much snow? Nothing carved in stone, of course, for a promise held out is better than nothing.  I can work with that.
