Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Western]

True love red, of course. I found a couple dozen really nice ones to fill the vase like she fills my heart.:cloud9:

:laughing: Jim, sounds like your "twitterpated" (as in the movie "Bambi") :laughing: Keep talking like that and the guys here will ask you out (providing you come with the TLB)

EDIT: Don't hve to worry about me though, I think you come with too much "hose array" baggage:rotfl:

Rain North, South, East,West of me over last week or so...but NONE on me. Gonna write a book about the donut hole drought of Jarrell, 2013! Radar shows big rain area heading my way...wonder if it rains when the stars shine? Plenty of stars outside now. I have left the ultimate rain lure in the pasture...the tractor with all windows open!

We'll see... 10% is today's prediction.

I got 0.6" of rain today. Some places that I traveled received more than an inch. I was hoping it was falling at home too. I guess it was, just not as hard.

Kyle; The story was hilarious! You should write that stuff down and keep to hand down to your son. Then it could be told and laughed about, all over again! And yes, you really should have done the naked rain dance. Sometimes, they work really well!

Thanks FG! Next time the Firework stands are open, I'm gonna buy me some more smoke bombs.

Hurray for the naked rain dance! Another 1.1 inches of rain overnight! That makes it 1.7 for the last 24 hours!!!! Maybe I'll have pastures, that last the season, and get some hay too! :cool2:

After reading your story, I may do the same. I had one that took up residence in my garage a couple of winters ago. I knew I had one near, but wasn't sure where. One morning really early, I went out to load the truck, and as I was walking around it, I came almost nose to nose with the skunk, coming home for the morning. Didn't have time to deal with it, before work, and was hoping it would be gone when I got home. Nope, was under my tinder box, sleeping. I tried everything I knew. I even blasted the thing with cold well water, and the temps were about 34*! I finally gave up and went indoors to dry and thaw myself. I guess he wandered out into the cold night, soaking wet, while I was warming up. I always hoped he caught pneumonia, and became buzzard food! At least he didn't come back in the garage, after that!

We may be pretty close on the amount of rain. I woke at 5 a.m. this morning to the loudest and most spectacular thunder and lightning show I've seen in a long time. It lasted about 45 minutes. And the best part was that it was pouring rain, too. We're still getting a light sprinkle of rain, but I think the gauge has more than an inch and a quarter in it, so with a little more than a half inch yesterday morning, it's wonderful.

Just went out to gauge. I thought it would be more but .80in. Rained hard at 4:30 here, lots of runoff. Rained hard for an hour. Was expecting a lot more to be measured, but it was one of the best rains we have had for a month or more. .

Looks like it's over for now, and I guess my old eyes fooled me in the dim light earlier. I just went out and found only about .93" of rain in my gauge.

 

[Western]

.36" here, but with yesterdays rain, I'm over 1". Add Saturdays rain and I'm pushing 2".:thumbsup:

Not usual for late June, but most welcome. There will be "chorus" of lawn mowers over the next few days:laughing:

GR2120 going out late today.
