Ok, I never thought I’d say that but we’ve been getting a ton of rain this spring, upwards of 23 inches just since I started tracking it in the middle of March. Our lakes are full, our soils are saturated and really, I think I’m starting to be ready for some heat. Lots of our plants are natives to Texas, not Bolivia and thus are probably also ready to dry out. I’m hoping we don’t get any that drown.
We got 2.9 inches last night and it was raining when I got up. We’re due for 1-2 more inches over the next 24 hours. And yet, we have two neighbors who were watering this morning. It’s hard not to shake your head and wonder how clueless some people can be but then I know I do some pretty clueless things sometimes too.

Hey! Saturday was our first rain free day in … er…. forever. How about you? My rosemary has drowned, kind of a bummer. But I’m not complaining, it’s better than the droughts. Some idiot in today’s paper wrote in to express his idiot opinion that if we had just not had those inconvenient water restrictions imposed on us during the droughts for the past few years, maybe the lakes today wouldn’t be nearing overflow level. Sometimes people freak me out.
