And we've got just the opposite problem Ken, here's a line or two from one of the papers:
"According to the National Weather Service, July 2011 is the wettest July on record in Chicago, with a total of 11.15 inches of rainfall. This broke the old record of 9.56 inches which was set in 1889. Such records have been kept since 1872."
By this time of the summer usually the grass has gone dorment and I don't have to mow it but every two or three weeks. But this year it's like a jungle, gotta get out twice a week or it's knee high.
