We didn't get but 1 shower today and less than a .1" in the gauge....sure shot the humidity up tho. I would like enough to soften the ground a bit so I could dig a few post holes...

We 'may' have gotten 1/8" today while I was mowing the lawn. We could use a lot more. The Bahia grass in the pastures is starting to get tough.
You might have some headed your way but it will be a while getting there.

I can wait. Cattle will have to.

My chickens will be out in the rain if it isn't too hard.

Our poultry don't seem to mind the rain but rather they seem to like water unless it's storming. We put a small wading pool in their pen and they are in it quite a bit.
The sheep think they will melt and I have to force them out into rain. We are going to start closing off their favorite shelter to turn it into stalls so they will lose that spot.

You know what else has a fake looking and really pretty flower? Okra. It looks almost like a Hibiscus, all dark purple/red. Really pretty, and once it's gone you get awesome okra!
We've gotten rain the last two nights, I'm not sure how much but we had a flood warning last night. The ducks and goose LOVE the rain, they are just giddy with it, while the chickens hide under the trees. Derp, the turkey, is so brainless he/she ends up soaking wet. I'm glad we are getting rain, the horse pasture looks pretty rough, it's eaten down and since it's been dry, it hasn't grown back up very well. So far it has grown up faster than they could eat it until recently. Maybe time for me to buy some hay to keep them occupied while the grass gets a chance to recover.
Looks like there's another round headed your way AC. It's up near the TX/OK border above Amarillo right now moving SE. The radar last night looked really heavy east of you all along the border. Glad you got some and hope it helps the pasture.

From what I can tell, this is our rainy season, through October or so. I like it, it makes it a little cooler but the humidity is outrageous. I'm dripping wet within 10 minutes, and that's not doing anything strenuous.
Many of us "southerners" here can identify with the humidity issue!
