Until the last few days, we've been well below the normal amount of rainfall for the year, but that's rapidly changing. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif We had rain early yesterday morning (and high winds, thunder, lightning, etc.), then it quit for the middle of the day, but came back late yesterday afternoon. Power went off briefly, which let me know the battery's dead in my Tripplite Internet Office UPS. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif And now we're getting a downpour again and have flash flood warnings for the county.

I am cautios not to complain. Last year we had a wet (not this wet) spring. I got a little crazy with the mowing and set it LOW. Then.... it stoped. It didn't really rain at all in July and August.
My grass was toast. So now I am mowing ay 4 (the max0 height. My yard is LUSHHHH.
This is good I guess. And the 4" should cover me should we get a spell. The painter I hired some 45 days ago has still not finished the 3 jobs before mine. This is becoming annoying.

Rain? What's that?

When it rains in Los Angeles we all get in our cars and run into each other on the freeways.

Over seven inches in the last two weeks. But...it hasn't rained in the last three days, so I actually got to mow yesterday. There is nothing prettier than a freshly mowed pasture or lawn. Makes even the ugliest (mine) house look respectable.

Then it gets to Houston and takes a sharp turn to the east so I don't get any! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif The boys at the office stay busy putting out warnings - then I come in the next morning and give 'em crap cause they didn't send any rain to my house. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I'm just 40 miles south of town and the north side of town always gets rain - but I don't --- or seems that way.

We are still in the dry phase, so most everything that falls gets soaked up. It's only a matter of time though before the ground gets saturated and we are slogging around in mud for a month or two. Every day has the potential for rain. Last night I sat on the porch and watched the gray ribbons of rain fall from the sky in most any direction I could look, but it never made it to us. The wind cooled things off nicely though.

Been having rain about every 3 or 4 days this Spring. It is nice not to be in a drought for a change. Everything is green and the lake level stays up. Hopefully July and August will continue this way. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
