Wish that you could send some of it our way!
Sunny and 80 here this weekend. We are going to be hurting for water this summer.

Sure would like to send you some of the rain that we are getting and more coming all next week. Cloudy and cold here in Middle GA. Down to 33 tonight. Plum trees, Japanese magnolias, and many other trees and flowers are in bloom. We had several days of springlike weather last week , then rain and more cold.
I cannot complain after seeing what some of you are going through. Just wish we could reschedule some of this rain for July and August.
We rode to see the river this morning after checking calves and I can never remember seeing it so far out of its banks.
It will get better soon.

Right there with you. Every lake in the area is tragically low.

Good news. I looked at some snags and old dead trees on the ground I need to get cut up and piled, and about time to rough break my garden but that will need more drying out than a week. I looked close at the pastures--bahia was starting to stick up little green shoots--just needs some warmth and sunshine. Time to spot spray thistles too.

Water still standing here and good chance for more Sunday and Monday. Guess I'll have to hook the trailer up to the tractor cause my pickup can't get in or out of the pasture, and I have to load two cows Monday morning. Tank is about 2' low and the lake is still around 9'. I ain't gonna complain tho because the water situation is not back to normal yet.

:lol: been slacking..... I see Caustic picked it up.

Don't think we collected an inch in February or maybe it just evaporated as fast as it came down. It's been cloudy and damp for weeks but not much rainfall. Staying sticky enough to keep corn planting at bay.

 

[greybeard]

Rained slow but steady all night here...

 

[Brute 23]

The more the better. Bring it on. We still have some big tanks, lakes, ect that need the water.

After some of the droughts we have been through... mud doesn't bother me on bit.

 

[greybeard]

Mud doesn't bother me much either, but that wet and cold is hard on new calves and mommas as well.
(hard on me too) :|

I can't see you or Caustic drying out for a while. The rain I'm getting right now both of you will get in the next 3 hours and there's more coming. GB, it's one of those days I would like to be holed up in one of those cabins at Chain O' Lakes watching the alligators.

It is raining here in Biblical proportions right now.
The thing that is hard to grasp is we about to drown this winter
and the majority of the state is still in drought.

 

[greybeard]

It better stop soon---the rest of the state is liable to disown us and claim we're really part of Louisianna...

I thought east of Houston was pretty much LA. Kind of like south of San Antonio might as well be Mexico. :hide:

3/4 - 1" so far today. Stopped for the moment.

1.75 inches since midnight as my rain gauge resets then, haven't looked at what we have got for 24
but by the looks of things around 4 to 5.

Well La. did flush most of their trash over here after Katrina.
That is the border we need to seal off. That bunch was nothing but thieves, and dope heads.
You can bet after the last screwing we took we won't open up like last time, let them fend for themselves.
Just like we did in Rita and Ike.
