Dee Rought! Dryness Is Upon Us.

[Jerry Rapp]

amazingly it has been raining steadily for 45 minutes in southeast MO. 1 to 2 inches forecast tonight. (I will take 1/2 inch right now). With this morning's rain, there actually might be a trickle of run off if it does rain good tonight/tomorrow.

I saw on radar a nice rain just east of me, but it didn't come through here, as usual. It apparently sprung up in Ozark county and moved east.

I'm fortunate to have a lot of bermuda and it takes drought and heat in stride. It's quick to go dormant and come back quickly.

Looks like some nice rain, albeit in some mean looking storms, is finally heading this way.

I reseeded the bare spots earlier this spring with the hopes of rain, they sprouted and wilted. I am on county water and it is costing enough to keep the garden going that produces food.

I sit this morning planning a fishing trip at the office with a friend. He stated that the creeks will be muddy, big storm passing thru. We still made plans. I watched a nice big cell come thru the Ozarks, enter Wayne county just west of the farm, then watched it split to the north and south. I had about 12 drops here, not enough to run the wipers. Perry county had enough to puddle the bridge we fished this afternoon, but the gravel was already dusty again.

Fishing was slow, new creek and not much for water. Did find 2 big otter toilets in about a 1/2 mile of stream. Seen a few deer.

Wow, had a gully washer today. Two big storms rolled thru and dumped a total of 1/4 inch. That closes out May with less than 1/2 inch of rain. At least it is cooler and we did not get the winds that they did in the bootheel.
