I want to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes. For putting up with my constant fixation on rain. For being here to let me vent. I am happy to report that yesterday, although a sad day for many for other reasons, started out as a really humid and muggy day. It had tried to sprinkle off an on all morning but about 1:30 pm it began to rain. Got a 7/10ths inch in about a half hour and the sun came out. It was a nice rain. I was away from the computer and didn't know that all those thunderstorms that had been bouncing around the state for the last few days were finally getting their act together and start dancing around Texas like a real two-stepper instead of hopping around doing their own thing.
Well it started raining again and by 4 pm we had 2.25 inches and more rain came. I went to bed about 10:30 and it was still raining lightly. Checked the gauge this morning and we totaled 3.75 inches yesterday. A while ago I went to log it and was surprised to find that this is the 8th day we have gotten rain in the last 30 days. The first 5 were 3/10ts or less that really didn't do much in the August heat but add them to the 1 inch we got Wednesday, the 1/2 inch on Friday plus 3.75 Saturday, we've had 6.4 inches in the last 30 days. Yesterdays rain finally put some water in the ponds. I haven't been out to see how much but I'm sure it will put an end to the pond clean outs for a while. Even as I write this it is beginning to drizzle lightly.
I'm not declaring and end to the drought, to early to do that but for the short term it looks good. Thanks again, to everyone.
Oh Chrisy, do you have a smiley dancin in the rain? We aren't apt to run away from it just yet.
Here's to the weather you need.
