Rain, Glorious Rain! Finally we are getting enough to really soak the ground. Area gardens, lawns, soybeans, pastures, ponds and lakes say thank you for every drop! Let’s hope this week’s moisture makes a real dent in our serious drought conditions. At least the downpours waited Monday until Davidson youngsters boarded those big yellow buses [...]
