Himmicane Alberto

We'uns had our first "tropical storm" and it was right fine--jes' dumped much needed rain on ua, but Alberto was mannerly enough not to get too wound up, so no real damage.

We'uns have ter keep water and matches ready anyhow--next one may not be so mannerly.

Drought and fires over fer the momment. I cain't keep the mornin' glories watered--Lawdy.

So we git a report on the local TV notin' that weather patterns ain't new--global warmin' not makin' hurricanes or himmicanes. Weather man said iif we could warm the earth, we could surely make it rain so we would not have fires. Oh.

I doan know--or much worry about it. I'se more concerned to make sure the aluminum sulfate is enough ter make the hydrangeas blue.
