We got a brief but meaningful rain shower Wednesday afternoon, our first in a while. I have Ben trying to get a couple new beds made and it did wonders for being able to work that new dirt. I raided one of my pot ghettos and even got one bed started. Put my soaker hose in place ready to give them life support today but we got another spate of rain during the night.
Houston is awash again, but I will be happy if we manage a little more today. We live a couple miles off of an oxbow of the Brazos. That plus the river bottom,seems to create a wedge that splits most weather systems for a brief distance and forms a dry zone. We have for years watched huge lines of tstorms head across our area, only to divide and reform about a half to a mile past us. Coming from the south, they disapate before they get to us or suddenly shift north or south, missing us entirely.
