Title: Weather ... what to do about it!
Tags: weather, complaints, thankful
Blog Entry: Everybody talks about the weather, even though we can't do a thing about it. Living in a rural setting among farmers and ranchers, the weather conditions are: Too hot ... the crops will burn up; where's the snow now? Too cold ... nothing is going to grow; too much snow Too dry ... not enough rain Too wet ... too much rain Too windy ... we're losing all the topsoil Too calm ... where's the Chinook when we need it? Today it was too hazy with all the smoke from the wildfires, and this evening the hailstones are too big ... causing damage to cars, crops, etc. It takes a lot to keep us happy. This photo was on the evening news ... comparing the size of the hailstone with a tennis ball. The storm was just north of us but we escaped the whole thing. We had been in the city, and watched the clouds forming, and we knew we had to head for home, and get our van in the garage before it got damaged.   Today, I've been reminded again to be thankful for what we don't have ...    hurricanes earthquakes tornados (well, maybe an occasional one!) tsunamis sand storms floods (except for last year) heat waves drought year-round winter (as at the north and south poles) That's all I'll have to say about the weather ... I'll take whatever comes along.
