Rain, please! says the cornfields

Look! a family of turkeys on the third street in the village

 This morning on our way to teach in Dnepro, Garry drove around-  quite literally since the road he'd normally take there had some machine blocking it (yes, the one making the metal for the new building) to see how heat stressed the corn is in the big field near the "new barn" .

It didn't look too bad after a cooler night, with a little dew on the ground. However, the top leaves are starting to curl after a hot day when we drove back around at seven pm- that's when we saw the turkeys.

No rain until next week in the forecast and
we just got a few drops out of last week's promised rain
