The ranch in Texas has finally had some rain, but not much. Texas is still very dry so the danger from wild fires is still high. It is a different story, here at the farm in Pennsylvania. All of yesterday and today we have had intervals of heavy rain and thunder storms. Then the sun comes out but very soon we are back to heavy rain. It is difficult for the farmers to get their work done.
An added difficulty is our Internet signal coming via satellite, also the TV. The heavy drops of rain interferes with the signal and we lose our service. Our first satellite service was installed at the ranch in Texas. I asked the young man installing the system if the high wind at the Top House would interfere with the signal. He set me straight. "High wind does not interfere with the satellite but heavy rain will cut the signal right off," said he. And so it does.
I'm enjoying the rains. I turned on the air conditioners to get rid of the humidity so it is very pleasant inside the house looking out. But I'm glad not to be a farmer.
