What a September we've had! Hot and dry are about the only terms to describe it. When we had a low of 39 degrees, the thought was that the hot days were history. Wrong! Sunday saw a high of 100 with Monday close to the same. That's too hot for September, let alone the last days of September. But! At this writing, there are good chances of moisture coming. A two day, slow gentle rain is on everyone's wish list.
