While the Mid-West has been suffering from severe winter storms that have cut off their power, and now the Northeast is getting storms, we in SC are still praying for rain.

This week has had temperatures ranging from the low 70’s to the low 80’s and today we set the all-time record of low water. The old record was 17 inches below what we should have for the year. I don’t know what it is now, but we have been told Thursday would break that record.

The beautiful balsam wreath from Maine sent to me by my aunt is hanging on the door and is turning brown in spots from the heat. It still smells like home though.

The forecasters predict a 70% chance of rain on Saturday, but we’ll just have to see how that works out.

I got a bit excited today when I saw some dark clouds in the sky but nothing came of them.

This is certainly strange weather for a girl who grew up in Maine, but it’s also unusual for here. By now we should have temperatures in the 30’s and 40’s and instead we see people walking around in shorts.

Maybe global warming is hitting just our area of the world.
