We only got a half and inch of rain the last week in August and barely a quarter inch the first week of September. Trees and shrubs and my new plantings all need to be hydrated as we move towards winter. Rain was forecast on Monday and I was going to have to water the garden if it missed us the way it had been doing.
Not this time. We've had just over 5 inches of rain since Monday night. Looks like it will be clear skies until late next week. I still have some plant orders yet to arrive so I am hoping things dry out a bit so I can get some work done in the garden.
That old Morton's salt slogan seems to be our new normal: "When it rains, it pours."
