Don't Let It Fool You



Today's Saturday Sky was just beautiful. It was just the right shade of blue, with the puffy white clouds that make the day so enjoyable. But don't let it fool you. It was hot.


Just plain HOT.

We'd gotten a break from the heat for a few days, but now it's back full force. Hot and dry. It has been so dry that the crops are all failing. The soybeans and corn are dying, and the cotton has started to open. It is far too early for that and if the entire fields open this early, the crop will be ruined. This will be a lean year for the farmers.

OMG... That's PHOENIX weather, not Mississippi! Well, except for the humidity. I think our high Saturday was 89 or maybe 90; we've been relatively cool, of late.
