Bolivar got good rain yesterday. Seems like it always tracks North of I-44. We are actually getting rain right now. Not sure how much it'll be though.
It missed us as well...again...maddening to hear the thunderstorm just 4 miles north of you while the sun is shining and the dust is blowing around...

Hang in there Okie, it's gotta rain sometime, right? I mean REAL rain. I told the church I would video myself in the mud doing my best snow angel impression, when we get some actual mud, and I'd video it and show it on Sunday. That will get them praying!!
Oh, I know it’s gotta rain and that’s what keeps us trying against the odds…I did a little video about it today…Hang in there Okie, it's gotta rain sometime, right? I mean REAL rain.

I got 3/10” today at the house but won’t know until Friday the total for the farm.

I hope I don’t jinx myself, but we got a half inch early this morning at home, but very little at the lease, probably a tenth or so. It was enough that I hand planted my clover plot this morning. All this hinges on the weekend forecast though. We have a decent forecast for Sunday and Monday and as that’s only a few days out I have about 50% faith in it. If we can get an inch or so then, we are off to the races !

I have taken advantage of some of that for sure during this. I expect our back pond will be better than it ever has in my lifetime!
And my little food plot waterhole will as well!

I got 6/10” at the farm but it’s still dry where there isn’t any shade. With a 70% chance of rain this Saturday night, I went ahead and planted 5 pds of clover on a small one acre plot today hoping our chances don’t dwindle down to nothing.

Okie…I heard it takes 7” of rain to get out of an extreme drought. We are in a severe drought here but if we don’t get some good rain this weekend, I expect us to be in an extreme drought next week.
It’s certainly very disappointing...i am looking at the long range forecast and it doesn’t look like we will pull it off in October...hopefully November is better because my big concern is our house water well now...
I have been following it but I think it’s gonna Peter out...

Maybe not, it’s sure lighting up the Oklahoma sky south of us.
We got about 1/10th…maybe tomorrow will be better…
