Ever since Don and Doreen arrived on October 28 it has been raining. Ken checks the weather forecast each morning, which predicts alternately cloudy and sunshine. But the forecast is always wrong. What we get is more rain. Christina and the girls came home from Nova Scotia in mid July. There had been no rain until we arrived October 19. Since then, the rain has fallen on parts of every day. It is like living in a monsoon.
The good thing is that the reservoir is filling up and the plantings are getting a well deserved drenching. The difficulty this weekend is the PGA golf tournament being held this weekend in Jackson, sponsored by Sanderson Farms, a Mississippi institution. It rained most of Thursday and all today. It is pouring right now and is expected to rain all day tomorrow. Sunday might be cloudy. I don't expect the golfers will be able to play in this weather.
The interesting thing is that the rains have followed us around the country. We had huge rains and flooding in Texas in the Spring and are experiencing torrential rains here in Jackson. Fortunately we like the rain, but when visitors are here, they might like to go for a walk every now and then. Jackson does get 52 inches of rain on average per year but neither Ken nor I have experienced this sustained rain, day after day and all night too. Don and Doreen will just have to visit us again, when the sun might shine. But I don't think it will happen this visit.
