Yeah, we are coming into what is typically the dry season around here. The heavy rain we got on Monday could be all we get for the next two months.

And still no rain since then. Couple of storm fronts headed right towards us but simply dissipated before reaching us. We're having to water the fruit trees in group cycles pretty much daily now.

It's like we are located in the rain shadow of some invisible mountain range running from Quincy to Apalachicola.

At least the north where you are is in the blue. We are in the red it has been dry for about 8 months now. I am betting we see no real rain till around June 15th.

Well, I guess that will be when the first hurricane of the season finally brings the rain along with it. Kind of a silver lining with a BIG cloud around it.

A TS would be nice. I just see no hope and a dry summer. Enjoy today as this could be the last shot of cool weather. 90's coming for us by Friday

Heck, Connie and I went to St. George Island yesterday and it was pretty chilly there. We walked down to the beach, then just turned around and walked back.

One interesting thing there, however. Emergency medical personnel were at the parking lot on the east end of the park and we watched a medical helicopter fly in and land there. Picked a woman out from the ambulance there and then flew her off, I guess to a hospital. We asked a bystander there what happened and she said she thought it was a shark attack. The woman being transported from the ambulance to the helicopter had her leg heavily bandaged. No confirmation on that, however.

Not so hot here, but VERY humid. I think we actually had a sprinkle last night, as I put out tubs to try to catch rainwater for the venus fly trap mini bogs I have. Only about a thimble full of water, but better than nothing, I guess. We are still round robin watering all the fruit trees. They are calling for rain here on Monday, but I've seen enough of those kinds of forecasts just evaporate to not take them seriously any longer. So I keep on watering the plants until it actually starts to rain.

Well, we got a LOT of rain here from a front moving through. Pretty severe storms too. Been raining all day so far, so the plants are getting a good soaking. I'm surprised the storm line didn't break up before getting to us like it normally does this time of year.

It about all died out as soon as it moved on shore here. Maybe .20" max.
