Desert Conditions

The weather here in Northern New York State has been dry, I mean dry to the point the Big Farmers have managed to save their Wheat Crop as it needs dry hot weather, however the corn needs water. We have not had the needed rain.
.
.
This corn is supposed to be about 4 to 5 feet tall, as you can see it is short due to no rain.
.
.
Normally this is what our Field Corn grows to, this is last years corn crop near us and it did well compared to this year, notice how green and rich it is.
.

 .
This what this years corn that is dry, most farmers have chopped a lot of it down and plowed the rest of it under, they are hoping that some rain will save the Bean Crop.
.
.
This is our living room window this morning, we got rain, I mean we got a cloudburst, we need it but just not this much so fast.
.
.
The above is the flood of water coming off the roof in the patio area and you can see the water ponding in the back.
.
.
This is the side towards the parking lot flooding from this mornings rain.
.
.
This is outside our entrance and the water is backing up and flooding the Maintenance room. 
.
Now it has quit raining, it is muggy again, we had a little flash flooding and the Sun is shining, hopefully this weather pattern comes back into our Area, but am glad we are not getting the flooding and rain the south is getting.
.
.It's nice out.

We have had a few of those down pours lately. Houses down in Port Richey were flooded, thankfully not our son's house.
But shucks you should have just danced in the rain. LOL That type of rain was the fun rain as a kid.
Yep saw some sun rises and sun sets from the deck of a warship!

Y'all be good up there and have a great weekend!
