Easterners, are you sick of all the rain yet? Just remember last year, when we went 4 months without a drop.

Here in Chicago I (Xan) actually couldn’t ask for a better rain schedule– it’s been a reliable 1-2 inches per week since mid April. I’ve barely had to water at all. Now if we could just get some warmth…

Down here is South Texas we are seeing more rain than we have in years. Some areas to the west and South of San Antonio really got dumped on again Thursday and Friday…. all of it has managed to miss my yard (Sincerely, Emily.)
On May 24th & 25th we managed to get over 10″ – that is a lot of water….
Nope, not going to get out of the neighborhood that way.
We were unable to get out of our neighborhood for a while. we didn’t “need” to get anywhere, so that was fine.
No way out here either!
Things are dry here in our yard, so I have been back to watering. Storms keep popping up all around us, they just dissipate over our house (it seems) then build back up and continue on… I am glad someone is getting the rain in our area.

Are some of you doing rain dances to bring the rain in or send it away?
Talk about making lemons into lemonade!! Great perspective, XAN.
Sorry for the awkward capslock 😉
I lost a couple plants from all the rain but it has been dry lately and I have to keep up with the watering. They tend to tolerate dryness less after too much rain.
Wish some would move to our area —- South Austin. Dry as a bone. Going out today to buy a 250 gallon rain collector. Now, just need the rain.
When I was there last year they were saying it was a 20-year drought pattern. Yikes.
