With all the gloom and doom in the news these days, I thought I would share some GOOD news, at least for us... we have had
three days of off and on steady rain, with breaks to rest. NOT hard driving rain, but steady hour long misting rain, then a medium rain. Then the sun comes out for a couple hours, then the rain returns. Might get a good hard rain for an hour, then nothing. Sky clouds back up and wind kicks up, then it starts a slow steady rain for a couple hours.
We had gone six to eight weeks with nothing. They call for heavy rain and it would split and go around us. So dry here the ground had started cracking and the grass was brown and crinkled when you walked on it. That rain ^^^^^ is exactly what we need and we are scheduled for a couple more days of it. Not worried about refilling the pond, we cracked the dam to drain it... we'll either do some repairs or scale it down. But the pasture and the yard need the rain.
