This is an official rain dance blog post. It has been really dry here in Stokes County, and we need some rain to recharge our ponds, swales, aquifers, and forests. Somedays I can even hear the thunder in the distance but not a single drop falls on our homestead. It just feels weird without summer storms that sweep in and dump a bunch of rain, and this post is an attempt to change that.
It seems like we are following the model for an El Nino year, a warm and dry summer, but hopefully we’ll swing the other way soon. Some rain would be much appreciated. That’s it. Let it rain!
