wrote: Well, the good news is that I am finished for this season with the transplanting of crowded out and shaded out plants such as asparagus, rhubarb, lillies, tulips, peonies and some black-walnuts. So now on to the next projects-- grass mowing and watering and wood cleanup. But this is the first year that I have experienced a drought right in the middle of Springtime. The past 5 years all have all dry years but that was concentrated in July and August. This year it is starting in May and we are 8 cm behind in rain (3 inches). Our average yearly total is 66 cm of rainfall (26 inches). Maybe that is the best pattern for summer rain. I wrote the above on May 20th where we were behind by 3 inches. But today is 18 June and we have had a series of showers about every week, so that I have not had to get out there and water brigade buckets as in the last 5 summers. Maybe this summer is the best summer ever for South Dakota. Maybe this pattern is the best where we go through a dry Springtime and thence have a Summer loaded with plenty of showers. The best summer I ever had in my life was in the mid 1990s, when a Philippine volcano erupted sending ash into the atmosphere and causing the summer to be extraordinarily cool with alot of rainfall. So I may ask the question. Has there been a large volcanic eruption this Spring somewhere in the world? And is that eruption affecting this Spring and Summer weather worldwide? Maybe with all the dirt in the air and the CO2 that we have created a humanmade volcano like simulation of the 1990s Philippine eruption.
