Sometimes we have to think about what we wish for. We had a drought just before this deluge. We had some little towns surrounding us that literally burned to the ground. We were on watering restrictions last summer but this year I havent watered anything at all. Trying to be positive about the weather I'm glad for my new crepe myrtles that I've planted cuz the rain has certainly made them flourish. My grass (the good part) is doing very well but along with it are lots of crab grass that Im trying to eliminate and lets not get started on the ants. If and when we ever do stop getting so much rain I plan on just letting an exterminator come in and do the whole yard. My house is elevated so I believe there are mounds under the house too. I've had to have the lawn (which is pretty large) mowed almost every week. Luckily it's my son in law that does it for me so I dont mind forking out the money that would've gone to a stranger. There are times the level of the water gets pretty high and the entire yard is under water. (attaching a pic) Still trying to be positive I'm hoping this will mean a good pecan crop for my trees. Will keep u posted.
