Rain!

This week was incredibly hot and dry at Chaplin Bend Farm--temps over 100 each day and no rain in sight--even though rain fell nearby almost everyday.  I worked at the farm on Wednesday but had to quit early--it was just too hot!  On Wednesday I figured that the corn and sunflowers were near the end and that if we didn't see rain in the next day or two they would be lost.

Well tonight it rained at Chaplin Bend--not very long, but good and hard.  Here's the Weather Channel image from 6:20 pm:

The forecasters say more rain on Sunday with cooler temps into early next week.

I'll head out to the farm in the morning to see how things look. More about that tomorrow.
