Yeah RAIN finally
« on: July 09, 2008, 09:41:03 AM »
 @O@  It has been raining off and on for a couple of days now  @O@

We have received a little over 2".  I'll have to mow when it drys up, but no problem, DH got me a new riding mower a couple of weeks ago and a new weed eater too.  I'm set to go.

Maybe before it drys up enough for him to go back to plowing...I can get him to help me set up another stock tank...There is a bent one in the back yard with junk in it that needs hauled off...now to find somebody that has old carpet  :D :D :D

I can't wait for the tropical lilies to bloom...I'm already planning on getting a night bloomer next summer  8-)~

Rain? I googled this. It is a weather phenomenom whereby free water falls from the skies. What a wonderful thing!

I wonder why California has never signed up for this.  ;)

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

We got some of that rain last night, too.  Definitely needed it.  One of these days I need to figure out how to trap from the gutters rainwater in barrels.  Knowing me, I'd just want to put plants in them somehow, too  ;)

You are so lucky that you've got so much flat ground in order to put up more stock tanks.  Once you get a nightbloomer you'll love the pads & blooms.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

Sue, we've been getting 1-3" of rain a week for a few months now...enough to drown the tomato plants.   :'(  It's been a strange year...thunderstorms every week.  I'm glad you finally got some of it.   O0

Weather is scarey isn't it. Either we're getting too much of it or not enough. We are lucky in mid Michigan to get a lot of rain/snow that is created or carried on by Lake Michigan. So the corn and other crops are looking good.
