Raining again when I awoke! Stopped about an hour later, but cool (for July) and very muggy. The moisture is still sitting on the grass house later.

No I'm not, fortunately Butterfly, we're fortunate to live on top of a hill, thanks tho' for asking..Holly, I hope you are not in the flooded areas.
We went through a period of heavy rains and flooding when I was a kid. I remember the day when mom called my friends house (where we were playing) and told me to come right home as there was a river coming down the street and through the yard. It was easy getting home (ride the current) but not a happy time for the adults and people whose possessions were lost over the following week. It was recommended that everyone around get some shot but I can't remember what it was.It's been warm and dry here in N.Scotland, about 77 - 80 F. and that's hot in this area.
Terrible news from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. I've camped in Cologne a couple of times right down by the Rhine.
I also worked in the Netherlands for a number of years and a lot of the land used to flood over the winter. It also got very cold in the winter ( -5 F) and the canals would freeze. Many of my Dutch colleagues would go skating on the canals at lunch time and in the evenings.
It gets hot, it gets cold, it gets wet, it gets dry. I'm sure that the climate change brigade will be screaming, but I think that we will have extremes of weather whatever we do.
