Texas Spring/Summer Thread

It was brief enough that I only got .61" this morning, but with the ground saturated all ready, I've still got some puddles. I've mowed through water before, but not at this location. The ground is too soft for the mower.

Now if I could just find a miniature hay baler . . . .

Bird--Maybe a couple of goats........Fattened up for 4th and Labor Day.

Got up before 4:30 this morning to the sound of thunder and flashes of lightning. 5 a.m. we had another very brief frog stranglin' gully washer, but no wind, and now has settled down to a nice steady rain.

Lightning and rain just started here also.
Enough wild dewberries along my fence line are ripe for picking!

Wee doggee!

I'm taking the 5 cups I picked at lunch yesterday to Grandma Mimi's house to make cobbler this afternoon.

Don, we are really getting pounded by rain and lightning down here, and it looks like it will continue for some time. Storms are moving s-l-o-w-l-y.
Prayers for the kids to make it to school safely. I regret putting my kid on the bus this am. She has perfect attendance and I didn't want to mess that up selfishly. Lightning is hitting the ground about every 20 seconds nearby.

So far, 2.28" in less than 2 hours.

My pond's tributaries are raging like rivers. Bring your own inner tubes!

We used to have a 4' wide 50' long row of dewberries right behind the house. Sure do miss them. So far this morning, I've only gotten about .95" of rain.

You got the big hit Kyle. It's starting to dwindle down now and we only had .9".

Bird, the Dewberries are just making their comeback this year after the drought.

Haven't seen dewberries since 2011. HS

Finally found a picture of my berry patch from April 16, 2002.
