I live in Ohio.
The month of June was like living in Florida. (I lived in Florida for 10 years)
Rain and steam everyday.
The month of July has had rain almost every day.
If this were snow we would be buried.
Instead we are faced with flash floods.
April and May were very wet as well.
I wish we could send some to the states who are
enduring droughts.
I never complain about the rain.
I would rather have too much water then
not enough water.
