Yeah! Glad that you got your containers filled!

It's really humid and 77 to the north of you and only a few spits of rain! We emptied everything in prep for new rainwater. It could still happen. I'm garden sitting for a neighbor and her pond is really getting low. She forgot to leave the dechlor out for me, looks like a trip to Wal Mart is in my near future!

I'm just loving this. I asked my Yankee (NY) husband: Is this what it's like to live up north? I could get used to this! He reminded me of the winters, and how I'd be singing a different tune then. :D

I'm near PK, and yeah, we're not getting as much rain as other areas. But I am glad to get a break from the beating down sun. It's going to be tough to return to our normal August/Sept temps after this wonderful weather!

I've been having fun with a sewing project and it was even better b/c I didn't have to interrupt to water. Plus when I'm done I'll be able to yank the pesky weeds easily. Rain, I love you!

We still have the AC on during the afternoon and in the night because of the humidity. My husband has a very narrow comfort range and HE hates humidity. Yesterday it was 84º and 92 percent humidity and I was dripping hot with a heat index of 98º briefly before the sun went behind the next cloud and rain maker. Mostly drizzle yesterday till 6:30 when we got a another 1.5".. My sympathies to those on the gulf coast. Heat Index is still 18º better than the what it was before. I am dreading the return of the sun. It will be painful with all this moisture but the plants are definitely liking it. I see bluebonnets and other plants germinating..

We opened the windows and left the AC off for a few hours too. That lasted until the humidity got to us. Mostly it was nice to sit on the patio and enjoy the cool evenings -- with NO mosquitoes, thanks to the last couple of months being bone dry.

I'm enjoying this rain and overcast skies. I can see in color outside, the grass is green, and flowers are blooming. Weeds are growing too, but like you said, easy to pull up after a rain.

Here's a "first time for me". Earlier this summer I stopped watering and I let my green beans die when it got really hot and there were quite a few beans on the vine. Then, I was too lazy to go out in the hot hot sun and harvest the dried beans. Well they were darn moldy after a week of rain and were germinating on the vine in the pods. some had fallen to the ground and were germinating. SO I took them and planted them at the bottom of the cages. Part of my fall garden is in. The rattlesnake beans and the yard long ones. That was easy.

I sounded pretty negative, but I am loving this cooler weather. Another front coming this weekend too, I heard.

Hey , I know how frustrating it is to see everyone getting all the liquid stuff and not getting any yourself. Been there.... more than once.

mushrooms everywhere!

A lot of mushrooms here also. It's staying wet a lot but I don't think we're actually getting that much rain in inches. Seems to mist and sprinkle a lot.

@ Ms PKponder. It looks like you are getting hit this morning and I am in the clear with clouds and blue above me.

We got 4 inches this afternoon. It started slow and finally just poured! The tanks and pond that I'm babysitting are full! Happy day!

Mushrooms -- yes! And they come up in the oddest places. This one is in my succulent planted strawberry pot ...

I love being able to see more details when enlarged ...
