Well, we ended the month with 12.31" of rain, all of which fell over two events of precipitation. Last weekend we had some rain, but as was previously reported, the ground was so dry and parched there was no run-off at all, it just soaked in where it hit. The rains of the last few days flowed...and flowed and flowed. Not so badly here (almost seven inches in the last two days), but further sound and now heading downstream it was pretty bad. Homes, cars, livestock, pumpkins damaged. Lives lost. Up here, the tanks are now holding pretty good levels of water, and the fields are wet. Too wet for planting, but that will fix itself soon enough. We are expecting more rain towards the middle of the first week of November (WHA???), so I guess this could actually mean that we should welcome El Nino with open arms and gaping gauges. For most of the day, it was cloudy and you would have bet money that it was going to rain, but nope...just clouds.Hints of clearer skies as I took the girl dog for her walk and tomorrow is supposed to be very nice. The ratio is eat two pieces of candy for every piece you give out.
I have turned about half of the clocks back.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, CLOUDS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
