I'm with you Nancy!

But to be honest, I am looking forward to a little break so I can spend some more time outside.

Also, I got a cow a couple of months ago, and she is messing up the pasture sinking in to this mud.

Glad to hear it!

One happy "townie". In fact, my lot is the furthest lot technically IN the town, because of my fears of the whole well thing. Also the highest lot, so we don't flood like many around here do/did.

Best wishes.

HA!!!! The local paper reported how many FEET instead of inches of rain!
That was pretty crazy! Our river area gets at least twice as much rain as us on the plains!.....But it was great! 1 1/2 FEET of rain in the river area with no flooding! About 8" here! I'll take it! Nancy

I wish we'd get a few inches, but we won't. I feel guilty using the hose !
More than anything, I wish it would get warm and stay warm. This is the first time that cold weather has really bothered me. I used to welcome fall and winter. Not anymore ! Getting old, I guess.

Congratulations, I know what you are going through. We have had a severe drought here for the last couple years until it finally broke this year.

Drought must be horrendous for you. I'm glad you have had some rain at last.

Meanwhile - we have plenty to spare.

Oh MY, Floral! Been there also! Nancy

Come to the PNW area, we've got rain, rain and more rain, 9 months of the year. It will continue till mid May or so. Right now the forecast shows rain for as long as it can be forecasted.(Grin).

I would trade this rain to some sunshine.

Actually, "they" have been reporting on the drought all along, from the US Drought monitor's page. It just took the news a while to notice, when the drought surpassed historic levels.

ltilton... Oh I know! The local stations have been talking about it for over a year, but it didn't become "official" until last month!When the "officials" made the declaration!
We've been in drought mode for a year now! We actually never really went out of it from the 1978 drought!
AAAAaand they want us to cut back watering by 20%! How do you cut back when you are already cutting back???? Same for the electric bill! I'm already the "light nazi!"
Thankfully, I have a well and use what I want to! Nancy

You don't worry about your well?

I do, tho the well guys say I shouldn't have to.

I am on a well, too. Seems to be a good one. There is also a creek on the property boundary. It is just a trickle during summer, but it doesn't quite dry up.
