Rain, rain....

I don't usually blog about the weather, especially Indiana weather, because it's not that exciting.  Oh, we do get an occasional tornado, and today one TV weather person mentioned that we sit on two fault lines so earthquakes could happen.  Now that I think about it, the way 2020 has gone so far, an earthquake wouldn't surprise me that much. But the weather that has caught my attention lately is the lack of rain.  Actually, not so much the lack of rain but the water level in the river.  I don't know if someone pulled the plug somewhere or waters are stacking up behind a dam up river, or if it actually is a result of low rainfall, but I have never seen the water level as low in the St. Mary's River as it is right now.  I saw a kayak floating by earlier today and it looked like the paddler could touch bottom with his paddle.  Maybe not but I have lived with a view of this river for five years and I have never seen so much mudbank showing.  It's not pretty.  I haven't seen any party boats on the river for several days now and it's not because they can't get under the bridge.  If this keeps up much longer it will look like the Rio Grande.  I'll let you know when I can jump across it.  Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.
