Barely got a drizzle here in Heflin for just a few minutes Monday night. Wasn't enough rain to help the plants any but the drop in temps and the overcast next day did so that's good. We live up on top of a hill with a decent view and I watched rain storm after rain storm go by to the East of us. I was so jealous! =( Squirrellypete

Ony got 2" of rain in the last 45 days...sounds great right? It was split between two storms in which the rain fell so quick it was mostly runoff. I don't remember the last time it just rained for a day. Drought monitor as of a week ago states "abnormally dry". That will probably be elevated to Moderate drought in the next 7 days. What a waste...I have to get out there in the morning and water tomorrow morning. Its either feast or famine. Hopefully those who need it, get it and those that don't have it cease and dry up.

They basically talked you thru the handout and it's supposed to be on line soon. When it is, I will post it here. It only lasted about an hour and you didn't get to make a rain barrel. Psst,auryn, you could've gotten in under jen's name. It's not like they check ID. Jen, the handout was missing a few pages that they handed out before we left but I only got 1 set and need to make copies.I can mail it to you.(Unless it gets on line first.)

April Showers arrived in San Antonio around 1am this morning. It rained for several hours. Now it has started to rain again. Thank goodness we had put compose on our yard last week. I hope it will be clear this weekend, so we have a beautiful day for the plant swap. Barbra
