Where are you, Joy. We got about 1.5" here but I think others not far away got more. Went to town a few min. ago and saw tanks full that haven't been full in over a year. Good to see standing water in pastures again.

Here's a partial list from the book: Snapdragon, African Daisy, Larkspur, Sweet William, Heliotrope, Moonflower, Morning Glory, Lobelia, Four O'Clocks (but watch out, when you got 'em, you got 'em. They are VERY hard to get rid…

Yes it does, John. I've got a lot of burning to do. Got one started this AM. Still have to watch for tall grass burning. It dries it as it burns.

I don't think anyone in TX is complaining about the rain. I know I'm not. We need a lot more to catch up after the last 15-20 months.

I'm with Jack on this one. The wire must be about 6" or less off the ground. Lowe's, Home Depot, Tractor Supply sell relatively inexpensive plastic poles. As for a ground, I'm using an old metal tent peg driven…

Nice pic. Cindy. We were supposed to get a bunch of rain, thunder, wind, etc today but so far nothing but drizzle. Everything is damp but no real rain. Ponds are still dry or nearly so. We're down by more than half from normal rainfall.…
