Fwd: RAIN!

Thanks all of you!   This has been as stressful for me as it has the
plants.  Yes, it was a good slow soaker.  I'm guessing around an inch and a
half, but will know better when I check the rain gauge tomorrow.  50% chance
of some more on Thursday.  Hope they're right about that.  We're a long way
off from normal, but this sure helped!  My St. Augustine is already looking
greener and happier!
