We can use some rain in west Texas. The only rain we've
had in a year was May 11, 2011. It finally brought some
relief. Temperatures dropped from 98 deg every day to mid
70's then 80's for about ten days. Now it's back into the
90's again. Everything is dried out so bad fires are
burning everywhere.

We have to water the garden and trees everyday, but the
garden is thriving. Squash, green beans, beats, turnips,
tomato, okra are growing good. Thats all thats up so far.

I'd trade you locations, but I doubt you could stand it
here. New neighbors are building a house down the road
and the wind blew so hard yesterday it blew off the
rafters that were up.

I'll pray for you're rain to stop and you can pray for
us to get some here.

Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together.

 
Yes, I hope it rains for you and not here... For a week or two. In the last
thirty days it has rained for at least 20 of those days. I will not be
planting this Memorial weekend which is typically in Michigan the big
garden weekend kickoff.

I do like where I live... If only the weather would return to normal.

Rain today. Possible rain on Friday. Possible rain next week. We are
running 10 to 15 degrees below average for the last month. Beginning to
look like another cool summer :O(

At least the lettuce is at critical mass, and producing daily salads.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True
conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

  yeah, looks like you got the worser of it
today.  we did get some rain (further north
and west of you).

  Tuesday was a nice day out, i managed to
get a lot done.  the strawberry patch is all
set, the everbearing plants are now in (for
variety), the beans are all planted on the
tulip hill and around the perimeter (to keep
the strawberries from running inwards -- this
worked well last year).  it looks like a nice
crop if i can get the berries to harvest time.

  i was hoping to get out today to get one
garden ready and planted.  the forecast said
rain after 3pm -- rain started about 11am.  ha!

  four bins from the worm farm are ready to
go to their gardens.  only two gardens are
ready.  cool rainy weather will be perfect for
that sort of garden tinkering.  probably messy
too, but hey, we like a good mud pie.  :)

  yesterday was also the first run of making
charcoal.  not sure i will do it again.  too
hard on my lungs if there's any drifts of
smoke.  still was interesting and fun.  i've
always liked fires.  a little more study and
perhaps some engineering and tinkering eventually.
we shall see...

  how's moomoo?
