TXdon,
Are you near Millano ? Was curious if (cant recall the name) I think there was a metal place there. Years back went. They seemed to stock everything ?

.7" here. Still cracks in the ground, but better than a poke in the eye....

And just like that....We have Fall in Texas. Chilly tonight at 58 and dropping

TXDON, Okay. Thought you might be more NE of me. Yeah, this break in the weather has been nice to finally work some outdoors without being soaked in sweat. No dust is right ! Was creating quite a cloud of dust just mowing the yard. The bluestem was "bad" this year and seemed to keep growing without rain.

Finally got a good rain Sunday evening--1.75 inches at Cedar Creek.
First measurable rain since 8-31. Really needed it.

 

[Locoweed]

It got down to 35 this morning. Wood stove conquered the cold again.

Javier was great a few nights ago. Hope Valdez closes it out tonight.
Got a half inch last night.
1 1/10 last weekend.
7/10 the weekend before.
Went to tractor supply and bought two sacks of whole oats, mixed with a leftover sack of ryegrass from last year, and disced and seeded a one acre trap. Had a little left over and broadcast in pasture. Seeing some sprouts a couple inches tall. Didn't do the 8 acre patch I do every year cuz heard it's supposed to be a dry winter.

I wish they could have done it as the Colt 45s when I was collecting their cards. But with clothes pins and stuck on the bike wheel they made motor noise.

Mom and Dad's playing cards worked great for "motors" on our bicycles. We used the jokers.

Nice rain today between Austin and San Antonio. Not good for traffic on I35 though. Several wrecks.

Hearing reports of some heavy rain in East Texas.

Sure wish I had a big pile of dry brush to burn. Had a small pile I burned after the last rain. It went up fast.

 

[bindian]

It was all day rain. Sometimes hard, sometimes sprinking. Good soaking rain.
hugs, Brandi

Did you check the rain gauge to see how much? I drove on 35 in Comal County and went in and out of rain a couple times. When I checked the gauge tonight we had only gotten a 1/4" but it was raining all over.

 

[bindian]

1 inch, but that is near a big cedar tree. The big gauge out by the garden is in the open and picks up more. I haven't checked it.
hugs, Brandi

 

[Bird]

My gauge only got a quarter inch.

 

[mostly_gas]

I got .5 inch rain

We got 1/2" yesterday. Still had cracks in the ground yesterday, will check them today.

God's way of aerating the soil.
