We Need Rain!

I was getting Thomas ready for school this moring and taking out the trash and recyclables when I noticed the neighborhod smelled like smoke! I thought one of the neighbor's houses was on fire. It didn't look that way, but smelled it, . The sky was also very hazy, and the lake across the street is also VERY bone dry. We SO need rain her it's not even funny. There has been a forest fire up in Georgia for the last few weeks that has annihilated THOUSANDS of acres in Waycross I believe it is like 100,000 I think its up to so far, that the smoke is travelling all the way down to the Tampa Bay area. I asked our neighbor if HE smelled it and he said it was a forest fire in Sarasota . Which I believe, but on the radio, they said if you woke up to smelling smoke, it was the Georgia fire and the winds carrying it down to the Tampa Bay area which I can believe as well. It can also be the combination of the two as well. There was this weekend some thunder rollling through because it was so hot - like 95 degrees , and read there was some lightning, so there was probably some lightning that hit some dry ground and sparked some more fires since we've had like NO rain yet and this is SUPPOSED to be our rainy season right now! Here's a link of the deal so far of what's going on so I'm not making this up http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18541799/ Maybe I'll try and start doin a rain dance soon if these wilfires dont let up because as much as I love the sun, WE NEED RAIN!! And SOON! Before sunny Florida becomes Blackened Florida! Gonna have to chabnge the name from the Plywood state to the wildfire state.
