Finally, it happened.

Last night we got nearly an inch of rain & this morning the sun is out. Supposed to reach mid 70s today, that will get the grass growing. :laughing: Supposed to rain again Monday. I may sound a little overboard about some rain, but the last two summers have been he!!, so hot & dry, might be a better summer as the last two years we missed the spring rains.:thumbsup:

Yeah we have gotten a good amount of rain over the past month and today it is going to get up to 56 degrees and be sunny so that will definitely encourage the grass. March has been so cold here! It was windy and cold everyday of the month except for like 2 days!! :confused2:

Well the weatherman was close to right, it rained Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, a total of 3 inches. I have lived here a long time but this is the first time in 20 years that it has rained more than 1 day or so, just wonderful, this and the rain from the other day makes over 4 inches of badly needed moisture.:thumbsup:

Now the weatherman is calling for rain next Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, should that happen, our drought may be on the way out.:smile::smile:

All week next week its supposed to rain with temperatures in the 60s-70s. I'm glad. Ready for this grass to start growing.

Just to update everyone on the terrible drought we have had for the last few years, well it is over for sure. With the rain we have gotten recently we were doing pretty good but last night proved to be the jackpot. If you don't mind dodging tornados, huge hail & 80 mph winds, the plus side is my rain gauge holds 6 inches & it was full, there were many reports of 7 to 8 inches of rain in the state. Many ponds that have been very low for years are now running over the spillways. :thumbsup::thumbsup: I hope the weather pattern has changed for the good.:smile:
