How much of a drought are we in? It's done nothing but rain since I got back from vaca and there's more on the way. A case of too much, too late? Same thing was going on out west. It rained like a sonoofa***** on scorched land. They needed it too, but there were flash flood warnings everywhere.

The update comes out tomorrow based on readings from yesterday. Last week's update had us as "Abnormally dry" with the outlook saying drought development likely.

Well, if crops respond as well as my lawn & the weeds in the garden, Jack will be climbing beans stalks pretty soon.

Despite the rain yesterday, I still managed to get my front yard mowed, finished it about 8:30 pm.

It seems like the new normal, is abnormal.
My guess is that we'll be praying for rain in a few short weeks.
