Well, pooey! I'd hoped you'd gotten a little more rain but .7 is great for y'all. Every little bit counts!

We've gotten 3.2 inches today and they say there's more in store tomorrow. Corn loves rain and it grows fast when it gets a good dose. Our corn is about as tall now as it was in this pic ...

This pic was taken about 2 weeks later - same field ...

We didn't get as much rain that year so I figure with the deluges today and what we'll get tomorrow, this stuff is gonna shoot up faster. Might not be quite as tall as in the 2nd pic but it'll be close to the top of my noggin.

Shags and the other cats spent a lot of the afternoon on the back porch. The others are in now but Shags is in his kitteh bed, snug and dry.

Wow...you could pretty much sit and watch that stuff grow, huh! I hope it keeps raining for as long as the corn needs it.

Someone posted a video of the Trio nest tonight...so I went to the site and got this....

He looks exhausted! He hasn't budged since I first clicked on the cam site.

.7 is a lot for us...and you add the .6 that we got last week and it’s not too shabby for the desert. :)

If we got 3.2’’ in one day, the whole town would float away. We have cruddy drainage systems here. Don’t need ‘em! LOL!
