We just had a shower (Sunday, 1pm), and though nothing significant - I’ll take it! Every drop counts this season. :)
We had rain all around us but not a drop at our place, Sunday. Lots of severe storms not too far away too - I guess I’ll take having to water the garden over big hail!
The silos across the road from us have been processing barley, and some got dumped on the ground. I went over with a couple large(~ 50 oz?) cans and collected a bit. Our chickens seem to prefer it over layer pellets (but not over pressure cooked little bluegill!)
I wonder if the farmer would actually sell me some barley? Given the “red snow” they dump on us each fall, they should give us barrels of barley for free... :-(
