Texas Rain

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

SBN slide into the Hideout and asked, "Does it ever rain out here?"<br /> <br />JB quickly answered, "Yes, it does."<br /> <br />"When?" asked SBN.<br /> <br />"Do you remember that part in the Bible where it rained for<br />40 days and 40 nights?"<br /> <br />SBN replied, "Yes, I'm familiar with Noah's flood."<br /> <br />"Well," JB puffed up, "we got about half an inch<br />that time."

<br /><br />Actually, SBN, I've had more rain in the past month than I got all last year. A bit over 23" so far this year.

Re: Texas Rain

I can't quantify the amount of rain we received for the month of June, but my yard has been like a wet sponge for a month and there are several places where water's seeping out of the ground.<br /><br />There for a while I thought I might be using my boat to get to work! <br /><br /><br />-dd-

Re: Texas Rain

Stopped today here in Fort Worth. Except for a brief storm this morning.<br /><br />After mowing the yard (had to mow it on the top notch or I never would have finished), I took a bleach and water mixture to all of the bare ground and standing water. Hopefully it will kill all of the existing and future mosquitos.<br /><br />Speaking of mosquitos, how are they in Whitt, JB?

Re: Texas Rain

Well I guess I'll pipe in on some of this rain jazz.Dry now ,but as JB eloquently expressed,it has been near biblical proportions this year.Two floods in one month.We're at flood stage still in most of the rivers and estuaries.Texas size skeeters abound.Hot as a sauna in a boiler room.<br /><br />Upside ???<br /><br /><br />New carpet &<br />Green grass.

Re: Texas Rain

Had my share of rain. Grass really looks great. Alot of rain dosen't affect me, as I'm on all sand. It can rain 5 inches in AM, and in afternoon can still work in yard.

Re: Texas Rain

Whenever we get this much rain, the downhill half of my foundation swells back up and the cracks in the walls close just a bit, and the doors fit just a little bit better in their frames. It's kind of nice. Plus which, can't work in the yard, might as well go fishing!

Re: Texas Rain

WOW!<br />It stops raining around here in April, won't see another drop until November. The grass on the hills around here usually turn brown sometime in May.
