Rain brings welcome break to hot weather.

Last night some welcome rain fell on the city of Blue Hill.  Temperatures yesterday registered above the century mark and stayed that way into the evening hours.  But after midnight severe weather alarms began to sound and the rain began to fall, at first creating a hot steaming environment and eventually resulting in a cooling period.  Various reports indicated that the area received from .80 to 1.5 inches of rain.  Today's temperature is forecast to be a mere 90 degrees,  hot enough to keep the corn growing for sure. 
The freshness that a rain brings to the landscape is always welcome and last nights rain certainly gave some relief to heat wilted vegetation.
