July: The Water Month

We've had rain, rain, rain. The ground is saturated with water. The daylillies are in full bloom, the Black-eyed Susans and the Queen Anne's Lace are all blooming and rain, rain, rain. All horizontal surfaces or concave cups and hollows are squishy or holding standing water. The horse's pasture is soggy. The chickens are dry, but only because their coop is weather-proof. The forecast for the next two days is heavy rain, thunderstorms and flooding.

The Northeast Kingdom is soon to become a temperate rain-forest.
