Drought
 

It's been dry and dusty up here at the top of Florida for nearly a month. We finally got an inch of rain yesterday. The grass was curling up. Rain chances look better in the coming week though. Maybe it's over.

Every day it rains down here I find big ole Cuban Tree Frogs in the water guage. They think the pool is open.:thumbsup:

Sheesh........ Radar is showing rain hitting all around us, but best we've gotten the past couple of days is just barely a sprinkle. The grass around the fruit trees we are watering is all nice and green, but everywhere else it sounds like you are walking on potato chips when you walk on the grass....

They say that our land used to be farm land a long while back. I guess I know now why it is no longer. Spring is "Sahara season" right here.

Looks like you're getting a good shower right now.

Yeah, about darn time! I've been watching the radar and it was getting down right frustrating watching storms going all around us with us barely getting a spritz of rain over the past month or more. Looks like that storm system in the Gulf might bring a lot of rain later on in the week. Maybe it will rain enough to drown all these damned yellow files that are chewing on Connie and I whenever we go outside..... The mosquito magnets are sucking down a LOT of them, but there seems to be an infinite supply of them out there.

Even with the clouds and a bit of rain we sure could use a lot more. I'll mow the lawn but go ahead and rain will ya?

I think it's safe to say the drought is over, at least for a little while.

Yeah, typical for this area, it seems.

Drought with widely scattered flooding. :rolleyes:
