Burn, baby, burn

I see today's News-Gazette has brought out the D word (drought).

If they'd seen my front lawn, they wouldn't have waited this long.

Nevertheless, in my 50-plus-plus-plus years of living in and near agricultural land, I've yet to hear a farmer do anything but complain about the weather. it's too hot. Or it's too cool. Or it's too dry. Or it's too wet.

One day's I'd like to hear 'It's too just about right...'

Yeah, right.

Anyone in Illinois ever hear of irrigation?

Think I may try that on my lawn, too.

And so it goes.
