We have had wonderful rains. Prayers are answered. My yard is so wet that I sink when I walk in the grass. This is an unusual event. We are so thankful for all the rain. I have emptied 3.25 inches since it started raining. It usually is not accurate as it is partially under a giant oak tree.
We welcome Fall on September 22.
