Howdy, luvie.
Did everything look fresh and happy today after yesterday’s rain?
We had some rain this afternoon and evening but nothing like you got.
Hey there, radu!
Yes, everything is clean and bright. The kitties are bright-eyed, too. They enjoy lounging on the patio or back sidewalk without burning to a crisp.
Sorry you didn’t get that much rain, but hope there is more for you soon. Even though your lawn....well....will be 6’ high. LOL!
I’m so happy for your kitties. They’ve had a terrible summer. They must feel so much better now with it cooling off. Now to hope the thermostat is through cranking up to ‘furnace’!
I got 7/10 of an inch and that was this afternoon in about 10-minutes’ time. The sprinkles this evening barely registered in the gauge. I just checked.
The nice thing about this afternoon’s rain was it dropped the temp from 92 to 75 in a flash.
Sounds like your afternoon rain was kin to our afternoon rain of yesterday. We haven’t had anything since then, but the kitties are happy and so is hubby. He won’t have to spend hours watering this week. And so am I...the water bill might go down a bit. LOL!
Are the soybeans harvested now? I can’t remember if they were being gathered along with the corn. I’m not crop-oriented. :)
The rain this afternoon was only for about 10 minutes here. A heavy rain storm. It rained all afternoon and into the evening everywhere else, though we got the short time of sprinkles.
Your hubby will be happy he doesn’t have to water the lawn but he’ll grumble when he has to haul the lawn mower out soon. LOL
No, the soybeans across the road are far from ready to harvest. They were planted much later. There are still a lot of fields that were planted later because it was so wet this spring. Planting season dragged on and so will harvest season.
Those soybeans must have loved that rain, though. I hope the farmer gets a bumper crop.
Yeah...hubby had just mowed in the past few days, so it’s not going to be long before he’ll be at it again.
The poor St. Augustine that was nearly dead is spreading a bit, too, so that’s a good thing. It’ll take forever to cover the lawn again if it ever does. It took a long time before, but we were younger and could do more to help it spread by digging up plugs and planting in bare spots. Can’t much do that any more. Especially under the dry conditions that have developed. Well, I made a short story long. LOL!
Yeah, the beans were looking pretty rough a couple of days ago but I imagine they sprang back today. The leaves looked dry and were curling up a little but they’re still a healthy shade of green.
At least your grass still has some life. You might not see the whole yard covered again but at least you still have SOME green.
We had ribs for supper yesterday.
Yesterday at Comanche Lake:
How's everyone doing this morning?
Yes, and today it was very green and healthy looking...sort of like those beans.
I need to go. I’m already dreading the alarm in the morning. LOL! See ya tomorrow!
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
You had a much nicer day for your outing yesterday and Gizmo obviously enjoyed it. I say he enjoyed his share of the ribs too. :-)
Amazing what a real good drink of water will do, isn’t it? Plants are pretty resilient.
Sleep well and be kid to your alarm in the morning.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Good afternoon/evening,ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
Hope you and Blue had some fun time today.
Internet went on the blink yesterday afternoon. Spent some quality time with the Geek Squad and I am now fully functioning again. WHEW! I had withdrawal symptoms.
I HATE when I lose Internet.
When it happens, I have to just get out and ride.
But if it’s winter or raining, I’m sunk!
