Finally have had a little rain.

It just poured down in rain here. The bottom dropped out. I just love it. And btw, the Mimosa is not dead, several thin branches were dead and my husband cut some of them off, these were skinny, he scraped a place on them and they were definitely dead, they were brown. He did it properly and it doesn't look bad. But there is new growth coming out on the tree so hopefully it will make it. And there is another newer one growing behind that one. So all hope is not lost yet.

Take it from someone that never waters her mimosa - it will be just fine.

We are really getting a heavy rain now. Not only did we get a good downpour last week that lasted from around 4:00 until around 10:00 but the rain started here today again right as I was leaving work and has not stopped. It is very heavy. We already got around a little over two inches of rain last week. I think we have already surpassed that today. Sure glad to get it but our basement is a mess from last weeks, mud included. Yuck.

But we welcome any rain we get as we are so below normal for the year. Wouldn't care if it rained all night.

Hey Audie , I sent you a private message. Wished I could send some your way. I dread going down in the basement and seeing how wet it is. I unplugged the drains early this morning as they were saying this morning this rain was going to be coming in this afternoon late and boy has it. They are predicting more Wednesday and Thursday but not the 90% chance we have tonight.

it's so dry here the raccoons have learned to pry the lid of the drain i had put in on the side yard and they get in there for their drinking water....

Too funny! Well, I just went down in the basement and there is some water on the upper level of the basement but not near as bad due to the fact I have the drains open and it is running down the drain.

i'd like to drop some poison in there and kill them, but i'm afraid some poor innocent animal would get killed instead. i hate raccoons. they are worthless.

It is raining buckets in SOWAL right now...maybe it will flush the red tide;-)

Our heavy rain finally stopped around 9:00 last night. What you are getting is the tail end of the system that came through here. And boy was it a system, but we all welcomed it.
