This has thorns in some spots, these tiny little plants that have thorns and you can't see them till you step on them. Ugh. But I can wear my shoes and enjoy it nonetheless. I'll take green any day over brown, even if it is weeds. :-)1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-24836354439929723802012-09-12T00:35:27.389-05:002012-09-12T00:35:27.389-05:00Thank you!

And you know, as much as I have always appreciated it, I never fully understood (and still don't to a large degree) how MUCH I appreciate it. Amazing.

It would be horrible if it had gone on. My heart aches for those up North. At least maybe there is hope that it does come to an end at some point. Here's to hoping we all have a wet year next year. I just think of the aquifers and ponds and lakes being filled too, that's wonderful. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-70429876545727868392012-09-12T00:10:36.944-05:002012-09-12T00:10:36.944-05:00OMG, last year I kept telling people it looked lik...OMG, last year I kept telling people it looked like a scene from the dust bowl!

Corn crops here are next to nothing and apple orchards are predicting 10% - 20% yield. Look for those lovely prices to go up in your grocery store. :(Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904220055397364826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-53147847571597919152012-09-05T14:41:56.674-05:002012-09-05T14:41:56.674-05:00Wow, amazing, what a difference, but why am I sayi...Wow, amazing, what a difference, but why am I saying that, those look like before and after pictures of my pastures before and after rain.
