Re: Blessed Rain!

Looks like our only hope for any significant rain is in the soon-to-be-named hurricane Irene. Not exactly looking forward to it, but what are my options?

total was 1.35 inches in my rain gauge.

very good for the plants or ground as it all ran off.

Been watering all week, but don't think I am winning the battle here.

Has been raining here for the past 30+ minutes. Probably coming down
too hard to do anything but run off, but at this point, I'll take
anything.  Will let you know what the rain gauge says tomorrow. (This
morning the drought in the midwest made the front page of the Wall
Street Journal.) At least I will probably get a one week respite from
hose hauling!
