Wonderful weather

Monday  June 3rd...We have had several days of wonderful weather - sunny and warm and NO rain.  But more rain is on its way.starting tonight and off and on all this week. Up to 3 inches total
Even with no rain there has been flooding and levee breaches... roads are closed and people have been rescued. In places both North of Kansas City and East, the Missouri River is way above flood stage. Pictures on the TV are awful.
I'm sure things are just as bad along the Mississippi River....

I feel badly for the farmers. River bottom land is the most fertile ... now lots of it is under water from rain or from the River. River water carries loads of sand and when it is gone, the sand remains. That sand isn't good for growing things !
Plus... things have been too wet to get onto the fields for getting the fields ready or for planting.

All that flooding and tornadoes we've been seeing on TV is so scary. Keeping fingers crossed so you have only nice weather your way.
