Did ya’ll get some rain yesterday? Along about dusk, we got a nice little shower. Not sure how many inches. Rain barrel under the roof got about 1/4 full.

I was enough that I didn’t need to water the plants in pots this AM. Still working on cleaning up the patio areas. We have 4 patio areas of about 200 square ft. each.

It’s a constant battle to keep the two in back cleared, as the gardening stuff has tendency to be “parked” there for just a minute - that turns into days or weeks. LOL

Springfield got 4 inches of rain last week but we got not a drop.
Supposed to be something coming this afternoon. We’ll see...

Rain at 3:15 !
Thunder, lightning and a foolish family parked out on the water in their boat...

We got a nice rain shower yesterday afternoon. It started around 4:00pm and lasted well into the evening. Not a drought-breaker by any means, but anything is better than nothing right now.

I spent most of Saturday hauling dirt out of the pond, and watching the pair of killdeer that made their nest in there try to keep watch over the four little babies they hatched out. Momma killdeer puts on quite a show if anything gets too close to those little ones.

I took most of the day off from doing chores yesterday. I think Nephew and his GF are getting serious. Mom, Aunty, little brother, Gramma and Grampa all drove down here from Kansas to meet the family. With all of that special company you have to have a bbq, so we did. It was a conga line of home-grown chickens cooked in the smoker, cauliflower, cabbage and new potatoes from the garden.
