Well, all of a sudden the idea that we could be getting some rain from now on through much of this coming week is showing up. My, my, my…how things change in a day. Right now it looks as if the current rain system might be rising from the south to the north in the usual pattern, once again hitting the upper part of Michigan but missing us. Let’s hope not. We could use some of that moisture. The air quality is bad again with pollen. Plus, there could be a tiny problem with smoke coming down from Canadian wildfires that seems set on filtering down into the northern tier of states. I remember once, decades ago, when there was a huge fire in Canada and I got the most spectacular pictures of our sky looking like it was on fire. I’ll see if I can’t locate those pictures. I know I have them on file someplace. They’re worth sharing again if I can. In the meantime, fingers crossed that the rain showing up in future forecasts for parts of Michigan does indeed make it into our area.
