Foggy Morning on the FarmWe've had so much rain during the last 30 days.

It is the wettest September that I remember in some time in McCurtain and Choctaw Counties in  Southeast Oklahoma.

In fact it's been a wet July and August too.

Usually during those months our grass suffers but not this year.

The unusually high moisture content has given us...

I've been reminded of some of those old London movies.

Our average rainfall is approximately 50 inches per year in Idabel (the extreme southeast corner of Oklahoma) Extreme Southeast being about 20 miles from Arkansas and 20 miles from Texas.

 

 

So far, the year 2009 is ranked about the 50th wettest year during the period that records have been kept, 1895 - 2009.

 

 

 

 

The month of July was the 27th wettest July for that same time keeping period.

"...if you are considering moving to our corner of the world..." --- you'd better bring an unbrella! :-)  I just couldn't help adding to your closing, after reading about all the rain. It's been unusual everywhere, I think. I'm close to Atlanta where they've had the most rain since 1918.

Judi,

You have had the wettest year and we have had the driest! No rain June, July & August and 66 days (or maybe 68) straight over 100 degree weather! We have finally enjoyed some rain fall but not enough! Strange weather patterns.

You finally figured out how to send us a little of your extra rain, huh? It poured here earlier in the week, but we really needed it.

Lovely photos.

Cheers,

Robin
