Well, the numbers are in and July 2010 was the wettest month EVER since people around here have been keeping track. I thought it had rained every day except for the last one, but my fellow blogger and neighbor, Joyce, says it didn’t rain on the third. Since it rained 29 days out of 30 in June and 29 out of 31 in July if you haven’t written it down it all merges into one big, soggy mess. Thankfully living up around 2,500 feet above sea level flooding isn’t much of a concern but if you got as much rain as we’ve been getting you might consider that ark-building project you’ve been putting off.
July, up here on the hill, saw 59 inches of rain fall. That’s FIFTY NINE INCHES, folks…one lousy inch less than FIVE FEET in just one month! June and July combined saw nearly eight and a half feet of rain which, for most of you reading this, would mean if you live in a home with standard ceiling height there’d be water in your attic.
As I’ve said in previous posts the mornings here are usually glorious but when I woke up this morning it was raining and continues an hour and a half later though I see through the east window the sky seems to be lighting up a bit on the other side of the valley. But only a little.

One More Good Adventure 
Thanks for the link, Richard. Do you have a humidifier (or 2 or 3)?
Dehumidifiers are for sissies that can’t cope with mold and mildew toe-to-toe.
