Texas Fall/Winter thread!

[bindian]

We got right at a quarter inch of rain on Thursday. About a half of inch of rain yesterday and over an inch today. Still raining. Glad to see the trees blooming. Now I can start digging up the dead ones..........when the ground gets a little dried out. Too wet know.

I just checked my rain gage this morning to find it is 3-1/4", and it is still raining.:thumbsup: My grandson woke me up this morning to tell me the pond is full. Well, it's not full, but it is only down about 2' from overflow. This is just a marvelous rain event for us and I could not be happier.

Last Friday when I went to buy more tractor diesel, I stopped by the garden and picked about 8 spears of asparagus around 1' long. I carried them with me in the truck and munched on them for lunch. It took some sting out of spending $125 for 33 gallons of diesel. I'm burning around 15 gallons per 8 hr day in my big tractor. When you work it hard, it burns about 2 gallons per hour.

I quess I'm on the North end of this ... since I put out fertilize Wed ... I now have 1" in the gauge, been a nice slow let the fertilize absorb in rain.

Won't be long and that 33 gallons will be slightly more!!

It quit raining here about an hour ago; may be only temporary, but yesterday and today I've only gotten a total of about 1.43" of rain. But I'm sure I'll need to mow as soon as it's dry enough.:laughing:

It was raining pretty hard when I went to bed at 3am, If I ever remember to get another rain gauge I'll know what I got:laughing: Only think about it when it's raining

Jim, after all the hard work "we" did "watching you" work on that dam, no photos????:laughing: Now what are you going to do, retire? again

WeldingisFun, you mean they started in the rain!!! You must be kidding:laughing: Sorry that was a cheap shot Been there with cows, rain sleet, snow. PITA if there's a problem.

Bird, I needed to mow "before" the rain, so now it will just be taller, at least I got a new mulching blade and oil changed in my little push mower:thumbsup:

Remember to make your clock change and new Fire alarm batteries too!!

Lee,
Guess it is time to bring Rebecca back up to see Y'alls babies.

Well, went on a little "walk-about" and took a photo going up out of my creek towards my food plot. This Springs growth, trumps all of last years growth. I have identified several more trees that have died, so not looking good on that front.

All y'all are always welcome. We are at 26 and counting.

By the way we ended up with 2.6 inches. Stock ponds are full again.:thumbsup:

 

[jinman]

We ended up with 3-1/2" for this storm. I wonder how Eddie did? I saw a big ol' cloud on the radar that him in its bullseye. I hope his overflow/bridge project didn't get washed away.

 

[Western]

3 1/2" is great, I got maybe 2".

I wonder how Lake Bridgeport is looking now? I heard it was really off color from the last rain, but haven't been out. Almost time to go fishing and see how the boat wintered.

 

[NativeSon]

We ended up with 4 1/4 inches. We are very thankful.

Charlie

 

[jinman]

Good for you, Charlie. Some folks northwest of me got 4"-6". The cloudburst just sat between me and Wichita Falls and stayed there. I'm wondering how much rain foreman Etexas drove through on his trip?

 

[bindian]

Overall we got right at 4 inches since Thursday. I'm glad to hear Y'all that needed it, got it.
hugs, Brandi

Dang! looks like you could have just dropped your bait in that road!!

Some of you really made out with the water:thumbsup: I think we got more than I had guessed just by looking at all the flooded fields around here.

Brandie, what has all this rain done to you pond color? Last photo I remember it looked almost like you dyed it.

Dennis,
I do dye it with Aqua-Blue. It needs more dye right now, to fight algae. No current photos. Right now it is colored kind of an aqua-olive drab green.
