Many of the introduced species will not survive .. I'm sure. The bad thing

is that many native species are taking a hit .. but its been better than 6

weeks without rain here in Paris and for the last two weeks the temperature

days has not dropped below 100 F .. its been 104 - 106 F the last few days.

Talked to a cousin in Nashville this morning .. he's on 65 S of Nashville ..

said they had a bit of rain last night but not enough to even water the

grass well.

I pretty much got the same kinda report on European crops. Northern Europe

can do with a lot less rain than we can because they have a large number of

overcast, cloudy days. So too much rain is for them probably more

disastrous than too little for us. Cultivated Rosemary crops have suffered

greatly in England .. I still have some from last year but doubt if I'll be

able to offer it when this batch is gone.

 

Feller wrote in our local paper .. said even if we get an inch of rain

tomorrow .. the following day, if the sun comes out bright and we have a 100

+ F temperature .. that one inch of rain will evaporate and it will be as if

it never happened .. not so in Northern Europe where there is a lotta cloud

cover.

Who .. is not gonna work tomorrow. We're gonna pack up a picnic lunch and

drive over to Paris Landing State Park .. around 15 minutes max from here.

Gonna wet a line or two from the bank and see if I can teach Alexander how

to reel in a big Bluegill .. maybe a Crappie and most likely a Channel

Cat. :-P
