It's Raining!!!

[TxMom]

Thank God! It has been so ridiculously hot and dry...we really need this. I hope we get about 6 inches OK, so it will probably be 1", but I'll take it... The thermometer in the coop said 100 a little while ago, so now I feel better about my chickens not dying of heat stroke out there.

So guess where my kids are (human kids, not goats)...yep, 1 in the goat house with the other "kids", and 1 in the chicken coop. Silly children!

Congratulations on the rain!

We are dry here too.

If it is raining on you then it is raining on my mom, and boy I know how much you NEED the rain right now!!!!!

Very happy for you, you poor hot dry thing! Soak it in!! Is it a good old fashioned TX downpour, or just a teaser?

Haha! ... We need the rain... mostly because we need it to soften up our clay field so we can drill our stupid fence posts!

It was raining this morning when I milked. We are in the same boat on needing rain here in my part of Texas (Central-ish). We didn't get much, but we'll take any of it. It only got into the 80's today and was cloudy. LOVED IT!!!!

It was great...a nice downpour, and then some more sprinkles last night Everything is all soggy this morning. I have no idea how many inches...my rain gage broke and I haven't gotten a new one, and what's reported for Sealy (about 8 miles away) is not accurate out here in the boonies. I just looked at weather.com to see what it said... 0.01 inches for Sealy yesterday... not even close!!!

I wish we were going to be home this weekend so we could drive T-posts for the new goat pen...but we're going to Austin tomorrow, and then the kids have a karate tournament on Sunday. Our clay ground will be like rock again by the time we can work on the pen :/

sounds like you got a good rain.

OK, so I had an empty 5-gal bucket outside, and now there's 2 inches of water in it. Does that mean we got 2 inches of rain?
