It should stand into late winter around here unless we get a lot of snow.

God smiled on the Brushpile, with a tiny little life saving rain.

Prior to this rain I was losing trees to drought, and it looked bad, flash drought bad! Big pines planted 8 years ago died! There were five 60% chances of rain last week and not a drop! Fish died in the pond, don't know if it's a total kill or not?

Congrats...still losing trees daily here with no chances of rain. It all just cruised right around us and headed your way...
Well, it's still a code three emergency here, it was only 1/10th of an inch, but I'll take it! I stretched some hose today; the goal is to produce a few DCO, AC and Sequin nuts, but then everything was dying!!!
The storm was the only tiny storm for miles and it rained with the Sun shining, but it might have bought me a day.Watering has really gotten old!!! Most of my trees are well established, but no water = death!
It's feast or famine. In 2008 and 2009 it was so wet that my planting holes filled with water, and trees died from drowning. I have yet to have a normal year with average rainfall. Send me some of that rain!
Glad you at least got some rain. I wish I could send y'all some, we have had our fair share. I got soaked today on the tractor
Getting soaked on the tractor is no fun either, but water is life, unless there's too much.
I had a spider in the rain gauge last month, so this might be a spider nest. Spiders like to nest in dry places and I can't think of a drier place than my rain gauge.

One of us (hopefully all) is due a break. I've had 2/10 in 15 days, I must be In the same dry zone as you & Johnny...hopefully we,ll all get some relief soon. I've delayed fall plots until things look better.
I spent the entire day watering, and am losing trees I planted 6-8 years ago! I have Lumite weed mats around my good stuff, and once I water through a Lumite mat the tree can go 2-3 weeks without being watered again. I just wish the weather would normalize, it has been dry all Summer, with each small rain being just in time to ward off death, until now.
I think you, me, Johnny, and this entire area could use hurricane! I still need the 3 inches I was begging for in June!

I feel for you Brush, it's dry at my place but I don't have the investment you do so I can wait. Hopefully the weather will cooperate before long,
