A number of fires burning hunderds of acres of land. Farmers need rain so badly, lawns are brown and ponds are drying up. Promice of some rain this next week. Pray that we get a few inches.ellie khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729353476036309006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-2895395883943011052021-05-25T14:33:36.358-05:002021-05-25T14:33:36.358-05:00It rained quite a few days here, but now it is nic...It rained quite a few days here, but now it is nice and hot and dry--in 90s.

It’s wonderful that your fruit trees and fruit bushes have survived this wild weather. Sounds like you’re going to get a nice crop of blueberries. And the mystery fruit is still growing! It sure looks like it’s a nectarine. <br />I love rain but too much of a good thing is still too much. But this will probably be our last rain until Fall, unless we get a tropical storm. We used to get “heat showers” in summer afternoons that gave us some rain but lately it seems like summer is just 3 long, hot months of dry.<br />Hoping it dries out enough so that you can mow this weekend. <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-29911927254023532972021-05-25T09:31:44.450-05:002021-05-25T09:31:44.450-05:00Not bad if all you lost was a few apples. Sounds ...Not bad if all you lost was a few apples. Sounds like everything faired pretty well with the storms you had. Count your blessings as it could had been much worse.<br /><br />Sunday we received an inch of rain and yesterday around 4pm we had a down pour and ended up with 2 1/2 more inches of rain and it's clouding up so will be raining here soon and more in the forecast for the rest of the week. <br />Yard needs mowing but it's just too wet. Have standing water everywhere. The yard is beginning to look like a jungle.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.com
