Belle Plaine Tulip time


Millie and I participated in the Belle Plaine Tulip Time Festival over the weekend and we rode in a 1950s Chevy truck. It was a little hot Saturday afternoon with temperatures near 90, so Millie did her best to stay cool. A 1950s vehicle model doesn't have AC, so we kept the windows down and the south breeze helped a little. The kids were excited to get candy and Millie was excited for a nap by the end of the day.

We are getting calls on when this pattern will break and we'll start getting better chances for moisture around the area. With the wind and warm temperatures lately, conditions are extremely dry in the west (and have been that way for quite some time) The storm systems are forming right over us and tapping Gulf moisture once they get east of our area. We can hope for this pattern to break down and change, but unfortunately, it may be several more weeks before this will happen.
