Without posting names, I think JoAnne is referring to Grano9 from Gainesville. She seems to have gone missing the past couple weeks. I know she was permanently kicked off Facebook which really upset her. Last I heard from her was my July 4 card from her.
Speaking of rain per year. We report precipatation rather than rain as we get about 45 inches of rain and about 80 inches of snow, for a total precipitation (with snow converted to rain amounts) of about 55 inches per year. But it has really been dry in July. We did get a quick heavy downpour yesterday and a drizzle this morning, but no real rain to speak of. And temps in the 90s with dewpoints over 75, so it has been miserable to be outside in the daytime. Very unusual for us to have more than 3 or 4 days that it hits 90 in a summer. I think we have already had 7 this year. It is supposed to be cooler and less humid this coming week.June, glad your new cat fits in. I have been down to one cat since last August and keep thinking of getting another. We have had cats all our lives and this is first time we only have one. The one I have is such a character, more like a dog than a cat in many ways. He absolutely loves being outside, only comes in to eat and heads right back out. Loves, loves, loves people. He will not sit on your lap and does not like being picked up, but he sticks to your ankles, meows constantly if you aren't petting him. And I don't know how to explain it, but he absolutely adores it when I talk to him, just melts.
When I go out to weed, water or pick things from my garden, no matter where he is, within seconds he is right at my ankles, begging to be pet. I can't figure out how he knows I am there. It's not as though he is in a place he can see me. He rolls over on his back so I will pet his belly. And with Jerome, he wants his ears pulled.
