Re: Tis the season...

Our rain from Barry is over too but he was kind enough to soak us for 24 hours. I haven't been so thrilled to see rain since I can't remember when. My plants all looks refreshed as well and I swear the grass is already a wee bit taller. Helped move turtle eggs in the rain yesterday morning and then spent most of the day at the Garden Gate. Came home and thoroughly enjoyed a night wallowing on the couch while it rained outside. Tonight there is a concert in the water front park by the American Wind Symphony so I'm headed down for that. Should be a nice night. We still have a good wind blowing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "james singer" <islandjim1@verizon.net>

Think our rain from Barry is pretty much over, but we're still under a tornado watch--until 3PM. We got only 2 inches of rain from the 18-hour soaker we did have, though, and now that the sun's out again, all the plants look refreshed, possibly because they're dust-free for the first time in a month.

We have not had the rain that some around us have - it is quite hit/
miss, which is pretty typical. Had probably .3 to .4 of an inch in
the past couple days. No sign of flooding in our neck of the woods!

Donna, Rich, Cathy, Kitty & others in the midwest, how have the
rains been in
your area?   This is starting to look like a 93' season in our
area.   We
traveled north to our daughters several times last weekend and
drove N on Hwy 17
where there is a long bridge, commonly called 'hi-bridge' which
stands very
tall across the river valley.   It is very full at this time.   In
93' flood it
was lapping at the bottom of the bridge which was very scary and
seemed
totally unreal later.   On a postive note, we have not needed the
irrigaton system
or the hoses.
