Looks like N Texas will be getting some needed rain and some nice temps, that is great to hear. Wife says the weather has been nice, so we may be headed for a "Texas or Southern US Fall thread" soon:thumbsup:

The weather starts out nice in the morning, but it still got to 92 here today. My yard is looking pretty sad; in dire need of both fertilizer and more water. So today, I applied some Scotts Turf Builder for Southern Lawns, initially planning to wait and see if it rains. But then I changed my mind and turned on the sprinklers. And now the NWS shows a 50% chance tomorrow, 50% tomorrow night, 50% Friday, 40% Friday night, 40% Saturday, 30% Saturday night, and 20% Sunday. Does that mean 280% chance in the next 4 days?:laughing: Well, I can hope anyway.

Bird, that's almost a 280% chance your fertilizer will help your neighbors grass!!:laughing:

The front is about 1 hr to 1-1/2 hr west of me and I'm scrambling to get some final dirt work done on my pond as usual. I don't want to have everything done and jinx myself. We need this rain badly since everything here is dry as a bone. Got my fingers (and toes) crossed that the 70% chance comes and sits right over the top of my house.

NWS says 60% chance now, mainly after 1 p.m. That sounds good to me since Carter BloodCare opens at 10 a.m. and I'm going to go bleed a bit for them this morning. Ought to be able to get home before the rain, so I can sit on the patio and watch it rain, if I'm lucky.

Eat an extra cookie for me, Bird. I'm on a diet.
The heavier rain just started here at 10:30 AM. It's been sprinkling all morning, but now there's just a slow steady rain. I got my pond work finished and rip-rap in the feed trench to the pond, so I'm all set. I too can just sit and enjoy watching the rain fall. It's like seeing an old friend for the first time in a long time. I want an extended visit.:thumbsup:

Well, I'm ready for the rain, but from the looks of the radar, it's falling apart without getting here; nothing but clouds and cooler weather.

Yeah, that's what I saw on the radar, but it dropped 3/4" of lovely rain here before breaking up. This time, I was in the perfect position for the larger rainfall. Color me happy.:cloud9:
