I really wanted to jump in our pool today.  It's not a really impressive pool like I dream of one day having, but it works wonders for getting outside and cooling off.  Lol, it's only April 30th, and I'm already feeling like I wish summer was over!  It's almost the start of hurricane season and I shocked myself when I found I was almost wishing for a small one.  A nice tropical depression would be wonderful if it brought a week of steady rain!  Our canals are dry.  Our ponds are low.  One well is still completely dry.  The swamp is turning into a desert. 

Now this might not be a big deal except with it being this dry, it brings to mind the fires of 98'.  We had just purchased our farm when we witnessed the lighting strike that started the nearby woods on fire. 

Now the fires have started and it looks like it's going to be a bad summer.
