Saw numerous predictions for multiple inches of rain....and we got less than a tenth. Pretty crazy wind gusts though Round two...I thought sure we were going to get it. Less than .2" I guess I'll take whatever we get

We had around 1.5 to 2 inches in the area.

It looked dark and the temps dropped like we were going to get pounded, but we barely got enough to wet the sidewalk.
Hopefully the next round of rain hits us since we are due.

Got some nice rain from 9 to 11 last night. About .8 for a storm total. Should be great for the plots

Got a little over an inch of rain with last night's storm. Should be more then enough to get my alfalfa to 3rd cutting.

We got light rain all night too. Must be pretty wide-spread. What a difference a year makes.

We caught a much needed inch of rain last night, I'll be interested to see how the food plots respond. The forecast for next week looks pretty cool, which should the clover and brassicas should like.

Deerflies sure can ruin summer days. I always dope up with 40% deet before I walk, but once I work up a sweat the horde finds open spots. Seems the older I get, the more I react to their bites.
They should start thinning out soon I hope

They should start thinning out soon I hope Not as many around here as earlier. Perhaps our drought set them back. Have you tried the blue cup on your hat trick? Does a dryer sheet help or is it only for mosquitoes?

Holy shit...been waiting until 6ish in the evening to mow one section by the Wiccan neighbor. The fucking deer flies were unreal. Swollen hands from 10 bazillion bites. I mowed that piece one week ago exactly. I lifted the deck to 3.5 then. I left it there today. I could bale the clippings. I'm sick of mowing

The concrete guys today kept commenting on all the deer that are coming and going from the soybeans behind our house. I said the deer sure don’t want to be in the swamp right now. Can’t imagine how bad the flys and mosquitoes must be in there.

A cammo / cheesecloth affair with a hood and face shield too. Also gloves like that. Used to wear that set-up when mowing with my open station tractor at this time of year to protect from the deer flies. Saved my bacon.
