We finally got good rains today...slow soaking drops after a couple thunderstorms with some wind! I am grateful but it was unwelcomed at this time for we are in the middle of putting a new roof over older mobile home and have been fighting to keep it covered with poly...What a pain!

Our ground was hard as a rock! We had to use a auger to dig holes for post! My plants have suffered as I watered by it was not enough...

My brugs even look alot greener from the rain! LOL

I am grateful!!!

PJ...I hope you got good rains too and all who else needed it!

It seems everytime we NEED rain we get it right before everything wilts and when we get it-it comes in INCHES!!!
I guess I just have to except that someday i have to stay in and clean that darn house!

Yes - we also got a good soaker - I didn't even mind that the power went off for a while just as I was cooking supper. I had all my buckets & 2 wheelbarrows lined up to catch as much as I could.

No rain for 3 weeks. Too hot everyday. Never had a summer as warm as this. :P

Glad you got some rain. I love how it smells after a rain. And the plants get so green too. Settles the dust onto the cars and then you have to wash the cars too. giggle I would love that again.
We still need rain and they are calling it a drought now. Thankfully my pond supplies us with water for my acreage without any problems but how long can that last?
