Well, I don't guess I have much room to complain about lack of rain now, do I? : )

Ain't it crazy...last year I had a few plants die from the very dry August and then I had a few more plants die from the very wet September (I think I have my months correct). If you look at the "averages" for this are it looks like we get 1" of rain every week throughout the summer. If only it came spread out like that.

Yepper...put everything back out on the deck...sure they'll (mostly cactus) be coming back in on Mon...more showers apparently headed our way
