This conversations I hear in Texas but never in Nova Scotia...until now. The need for rain is on every lips. Everyone asks about your well. And they ask when the rains will come. There has been no substantial rain since mid June. And before that during the Spring, there was very little rain. This is a 99 year drought in 2016 on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Yesterday, George told us the rains were coming today. He guaranteed it would happen because he was frantically trying to get a house under roof. From Ken's forecast, the rain was to fall for 24 hours. People were delighted. Sure enough, the rain started at noon, a lovely light rain that appeared would last for the 24 hour forecast.
There is nothing better than taking a nap in the rain so I lay down on the living room couch listening to the rain and the waves. Perfect for sleeping. But I awoke an hour later to discover no rain coming down. All I could hear was the sound of the waves. Once again, the forecast was wrong. But the sky is still overcast and a storm is coming up the coast so maybe we will have more rain tomorrow.
The county is giving two cases of water to everyone who has a well. I will claim mine tomorrow. The odd thing is that in Texas, they are having flash floods. 6 inches of rain fell at the lake yesterday. The world is going crazy I guess.
