Rain

Well It happened Rain and lots of if very fast. We got an inch in 35 minutes at my house. Thats great.I hope that outer part of the city get 2 or more inches to fill the bone dry stock pond. Flash flood warning are in affect, for the rest of the night. Quail chicks now have a fighting chance. Thank God, we did not get any Quarter size hail, that the weather people, predicted.

That's good to hear Jmac. As you mentioned hopefully it give those chicks the means to survival. I guess you'll know this fall.

We finally got some rain out here last night and today. Nothing big though.

I'm not too concerned about our chicks right now. Shallow ponds and creeks are drying up but there's still water out there.

One area I looked at last weekend had me jumping for joy. The pheasants have the soil between hedgerows and the first two rows of corn torn up from dusting and pecking/digging. Rooster, hen, and chick tracks in the dirt with feathers left behind. It's been a long time since I've seen so much activity around here.

I could hear the little buggers scattering in the shrubs in one section too. All good.

Good deal. Hope we get some soon too. Just missed us yesterday. Gettin dry.

I hope you all get some much needed rain. I know you all need it dearly. All that rain last night, and now the fricking humidity is sky high. Sunny high of 102, feels like 112. So much for it just being a dry heat.

We got a dump yesterday . . . and a huge lightning show. Amazingly, no fires; I imagine the rain put them out as soon as the strike hit. There were reports of quarter-sized hail, but thankfully it missed my place. As hot as it's been for 2 weeks, it felt good to wander around in the rain.

Same here. 100 plus humid. 110 heat index air warnings etc. It sucks.!!! gettin old. Hard to come home after work and expect to get any thing done. I just can't physically do it. Dang kennel building is ready to frame and just can't do it. I can walk in the concrete rooms though and picture what it will look like when it cools off a bit, LOL.

We went camping this weekend in Southwest Montana. It's been so dry here we forgot a coat for our 4 year old. Guess what? Rained half the weekend. Had to run the boat on full plane for about five minutes with the plug out to drain all the water sitting in it after Saturday night. Well needed though, and kinda nice not having the sun beat down on us all weekend.
Came home to Driggs to a lawn that remembered it could still turn green instead of tan! (No irrigation)

Every little front that goes through MN dumps rain on us, more last night
Been way to wet to put up hay
Corn is 8 ft tall and pollinating like crazy. HOT plus WET crops here are great.

Usually we are in the dry part of MN. Go figure.
