signet said:Great Big Ugly Grey Mounds of clouds moved in late yesterday afternoon. Lots of thunder and lightning ......wild winds whipped up and are you ready for this ? ..................about 9 drops of rain fell. That was it .........then the clouds moved off and the sun came out and dried up all 9 drops. Something better give soon. I have a bloom on Galaxy Explosion today .......the scape is about a foot and a half tall where normally it comes in over 3 feet tall . That should give you some idea of how little rain we have had and how badly we need some .

Signet, I am very sorry you missed rain yesterday. I hope you get some soon. Drought is so very stressful, as is the heat we have been getting this spring.

It looked like we were going to get rain yesterday afternoon, too. Clouds moved in and it got windy, but when I looked at the radar you could see the clouds separating and moving around us. I think areas north and south of us got some significant rain. We got a very short shower, just enough to wet things a bit, but the sun dried it all up. We aren't desperate yet, because we got a heavy rain a week ago, however, it has been very dry all spring, and things are very parched.
