Rain today

Sorry 6" of sand and sand spurs here. I have no clue what has gone wrong to have my weather change this much in over 48 years. It is only within one mile of the gulf from Tarpon springs to Cedar key that never gets rain anymore and winters never have cold or rain as well. You can look at the radar in the summer and see no clouds within a mile of the coast while inland gets all the rain or east coast.
Man, I absolutely HATE sand spurs. When Connie and I first bought our property, it was heavily infested with those infernal plants. We came down here to camp out on our land and spent most of the time clearing them out. We would take large plastic bags filled with them to the dump. I think we got them all, thank goodness.

Had a short storm blow through here. 0.23" of rain.
 
Your property would likely be great for growing cactus plants from the American southwest deserts.
 
Connie and I were digging them up to get the roots. That seemed to work quite well getting rid of them.
 
Got a few days with just 0.05" of rain and then today (Wednesday) got 0.34". Just enough to keep things moist and the humidity at around 100%. Mosquitoes are getting a little pesky and even had a half dozen or so yellow flies harassing me while I was pressure washing the apron in front of the garage. Most of the yellow flies met an untimely demise. Timely, in my opinion, though.
