Whooo-hoooo- we went from "exceptional" to only "severe".
I'll tell you- we still rejoice every time we have to spend the day inside due to rain! I was just telling a relative the other day that we have green grass for the first time in over a year here at the farm. No joke- we never saw green grass last year (with the exception of the rye in the winter). It's quite an experience to actually walk our pastures and there isn't a *crunch*! I'm just giddy!
I know we're all hoping for a little relief this summer over what we had last year. Many gardeners in our area just aren't up to any big projects like new beds or planting trees/shrubs. They are gun-shy after last year. The gal at the local greenhouse said that the only good part about all of this is that people will be buying more new plants to replace the losses of last year.
