Thanking the good Lord for the half inch of rain He just gave us, and the beautiful double rainbow! Hope everyone who needs rain gets some too!

A couple of days ago, we got and inch and a half. My rain barrels filled up quickly. I had a problem in that I had left the overflow barrel's hose open!! Made me so disgusted that that much rain just flowed out!

We have also had the rains this summer - but it has been very cool also. The crops were looking great, but behind due to the cool temps. This could reduce the yields quite a bit. Then we got hit with some major hail last weekend. Ouch! We didn't have any buildings damaged - but major crop damage. Guess things were looking too good. Luckey we didn't have the building damaged that some did though. Lots of broken windows and siding damage in some areas close to us.

Well, lucky you, Glenda! As Carol said, we got a little dribble from Mother Nature the other day, but nothing much. Sure hope we get some more this winter. We need it, our trees and shrubs need it.

Thanks Sherry. I moved Jamaican Me Crazy a few years ago, it was be side Jamaican Music and not doing well after 3 or 4 years. It has become one of my better plants since I moved it. Hope the same thing will happen with JM. The wind was nasty, was' t it Debra. We lost another cursed Bradford pear., I understand a lot of trees are down in the area. I hear that we will miss the worst of it today, which may be more your way. Thank you Kate!

One half inch in San Antonio, but also appreciated. A friend near Boerne said a tornado was spotted. An alert was issued and everyone was advised to take cover, but thankfully it didn't touch down. Interestingly her cat dashed under the bed just before the alert and came out just as the alert ended. On another but related subject; with all the showers we've had off and on we have surprisingly few mosquitoes. How about y'all?

We ended up, all told, 1 1/2 inches! With a few showers that didn't amount to any accumulation, but it all helps. May get more. Hoping all who need it get it in the best way needed!

And Tami didn't hog it all here in Ohio, she shared a good bit of it with me (south of Tami).
