SkyWatch Friday: Happy U. S. Independence Day

Happy Independence Day (U.S.) to those who celebrate it.

In my neck of the woods July 4 will probably have rain although there is a chance of some clearing.

Over the past 8 days we've only had 2 days with some blue in the sky.

On those two days there was rain for part of the day.

But since the other days were all gray even partial clearing was a treat.

I can't believe how much rain we've been having.

There has been some flooding with all the rain.

I was at the grocery store the other day and the parking lot started looking like a creek.

I managed to avoid the deeper standing water and made it home.

This has been the wettest summer I can recall.

It's good for the plants up to a point but we may reach a point of too much rain if it keeps up like this.

I didn't think I'd ever get tired of rain.

I can recall year's past where I craved rain.

But too much of anything can get old after a while.
