Rain Is Not A Good Thing

   With apologies to Luke Byran, rain is not a good thing. And we in the Yorkton area are in for a lot of it today and into tonight. 20 to 30 (and possibly as much as 60) mm is expected from a system moving in from the U.S. A rainfall warning is out for the area. This is exactly what our lawn and my wife's flower beds do not need. Already, we're seeing brown spots on the lawn, and I'm worried it's going to drown. Luckily, I managed to get ours cut the other day. It had started to go to seed.
   Then, there's the potential for flooding. 4 years ago, Yorkton was inundated by torrential rain, which resulted in an awful lot of basement flooding and sewer back-ups. None of that is needed now. And then, there's the agricultural impact. While seeding is for all intents and purposes done, what's needed now is dry, warm weather to advance crop development.
   I'm not the only one hoping for drier weather. We've had 2 jack-rabbits through our yard quite a bit recently, and if it doesn't dry out soon, they may need these just to get around:
