We just had a downpour, as usual.

Last week a woman told me, this is the last of the dog days, and since we've had rain every day for about two or more months, this means the rain will end. I've never quite understood the dog days and used to hear about them a lot more in Georgia than I usually do in the Carolina mountains. Nevertheless, I've never heard about them before in conjunction with whether it rains or not.

Still, we had three days in a row without rain, and those days seemed astounding in context. It was a subject of conversation around here, as if unbelieveable.

I suspect she is probably right though, despite today's brief cloudburst.
