Sunny Florida...NOT...For some reason when it rains here it seems to go on for days on end. Everything is sticky, mushy, just waiting for the mildew to set in.
Yes, I know that we need the rain or nothing will grow...but deluge is a bit much. Because we have the ultimate distinction of being one of the most places hit by lightening you can hardly turn on your computer for fear of crashing.
I do know what I'm talking about, we've been hit by lightening that has struck one of our trees, set it on fire and it looked like a 70' Roman Candle ignited into full flame. As I opened the front door, it sounded like a freight train coming towards me..unbelievable sound. Luckily, the firemen were able to get the fire out quickly, without it spreading to the other trees.
A neighbors tree was struck and the charge ran across the property line and found it's way to my telephone wiring...well, there went an expensive telephone/answering system that was only two months old. After this I learned I was really lucky that none of us were on the phone when that hit...so now I don't talk during a storm...the phone can ring off the wall for all I care.
Well, it looks like the sky is clearing abit..maybe if I'm lucky our plants have not drowned and the sun will come back in the morning.
