Wonderful. I got 1/4" last week and small shower this morning that hardly registered in the gauge. Enjoying the 74 degree temps more than anything compared to 103 yesterday.

We've had a dry spell since mid-June. If I remember correctly, we've had about 2" since then - a quarter inch or less at a time- up until yesterday.

I realize that it is not available to everyone. But this is the reason when I was looking to move I wanted a place with cheap reliable irrigation. This is a 10 inch rainfall area. The range land has done good this year but that is not always the case. However that river flows through here everyday regardless. Both withdrawals from the river are on my place. I am the first one on both ditches. If anyone has water, I have water. Flood irrigation has no pumping cost. Just open up a tap and watch it cover the field with water.

Just went out to change the irrigation and it is raining. What is wrong with that picture? Well this rain probably wont amount to much. But the seat on the quad got wet every time I got off..... and then I had to sit on it :x

Fescue and clover are still growing well. Put a little N down today based on the forecast. Getting late...
Will cut the last hay next week, and probably (have to) feed some wet bales.

I need some rain on a lot of this place - Saturday we had over an inch at the house, 2 miles down hill in the main big pasture (rangeland) we got 11/100ths. I still have feed, can survive on it for another year, but I need some ponds filled. Can't water entire herd until next July or August on one well.
Our year to date amounts are less than we normally get in just July and August.

Been steady rain since 2AM, if it keeps this up I will be on an island.
Looks like the really heavy stuff for now is east on the border.

Lol yeah nothing in northeast Tx yet but my parents work in Freeport live in Brazoria county and they got plenty rain im jealous.
We have not had a significant rain in about a month. None is forecast for the next 10 days either. I may have to start feeding some hay.

Keeping my fingers crossed. I haven't had any measurable rain since early July. Gonna put out hay next week IF we don't get any rain out of this .

I hope for y'all.
Watching radar today looks like it has moved farther east than earlier predictions.
