THE CONSTANT SOAKINGS WE HAVE BEEN GETTING FROM THE SPRING RAIN SYSTEMS HAVE FINALLY SLOWED DOWN AND THINGS ARE STARTING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO DRY OUT A BIT. THAT BEING SAID THE GRASS HAS FINALLY WENT FROM HAVING TO BE MOWED EVERY 4 DAYS TO NEEDING IT RIGHT AROUND EVERY 7 DAYS OR MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER. CROPS ARE LOOKING GOOD, CORN IN SOME AREAS HAVE ALREADY TASSLED & ARE SHOWING SILKS COMING OUT OF EARS ON THEIR STALKS. SOYBEANS ARE ALSO LOOKING GOOD IN THE LOCAL AREA. CREEKS AND STREAMS ARE HOLDING A NORMAL LOW AMOUNT OF WATER FLOW. TREES AND MOST ALL OTHER DECORATIVE PLANTS ARE LOOKING GOOD AND GROWING FAST. THE RECENT BARRAGE OF BURNING HOT TEMPS HAVE PROBABLY STUNTED THE GROWTH A LITTLE I WOULD SAY AS IM SURE PLANTS DO NOT LIKE BEING ROASTED ALL DAY LONG WITH THE SUN JUST BEATING DOWN ON THEM WITH 90°F+ AIR TEMPS. THE RECENT BREAK IN THE HEAT THOUGH HAS BEEN WELL WELCOMED HERE, IT ALMOST GIVES THE FEEL OF MID SEPTEMBER TEMPS. THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS FINALLY BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A DAY OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME I FEEL IN AROUND 2 WEEKS. MORNING LOWS HAVE BEEN IN THE MID 50°F'S WITH AFTERNOONS GETTING INTO THE 70°F'S.
