RAIN

I know this may sound totally stupid to write about, but it has been 40 days since we have had rain on Kent Island!!!!  Today, it has rained pretty much all day.  It has been quite a concern for many of us b/c we , the majority on Kent Island have wells.  Many new wells have been put in b/c of the water table being soooo low.  No one wants to be concerned about the extra expense of about $5000.00 going toward a new well. 

Another concern here on Kent Island are the many farms here.  Their crops have been affected, which also reaches into our pockets.  Or they use the same aquifers that feed our wells to irrigate their crops so they keep the crops healthy.  The concern?  The aquifers are low, farmers take the water to irrigate, lowers the aquifers again, the wells may then be affected. 

So now you know why I am soooo excited about finally getting rain, here and in the aquifers!  I hope this is a sign of more good times ahead.
