Thats for sure. I am just glad we did not go and try to grow another garden this year like we have done in the past. I am usually the first one in this area getting a garden in and started, and then we usually do a second......My garden has been done for about 3 or more weeks now, so that was not a big thing, but my lawn and other things we planted this year sure have had it tuff.........There is just so much you can water by hand or with sprinklers etc...
Another is my pond gets pretty warm without an occasional rain, at least the top layer or portion of water gets pretty warm.......bass and bream love it but the KOI and goldfish are in much shallower water and they are a cold water fish by nature.....plus the water table has been getting lower so the pond is also getting lower, which is only the 2nd time in over 20+ years so it is not all that bad.........but I like a full pond.
The rain today while much appreciated did not amount to much......more or less just enough to T you off. Enough to make it humid as he$$ and not really enough to do the plants and grasses much good..........it amounted to less than 1/4" of rain. I have 5 rain gauges setup around on the property, and an average between all 5 resulted in just a tad over 1/4" of rain.
