We finally got a nice steady rain for about 30 minutes yesterday. But yeah, this week has been especially rough. I get home from work and I go inside. Cant really do any of my outdoor stuff, even my garage hobbies. Sucks as I have three trees to plant this weekend as well as some roof work.
Knowing I had a ripe Surinam cherry I walked to the side yard to get it before the raccoons or possums did and while it was incredibly sweet, I question whether it was worth the effort since just that brief walk at 6pm even had me sweating through my clothes. I love the rain and we need more desperately to overcome two years of drought in the ground water but I am afraid this is but a prelude to August. Even in the downpours, I still have no puddles in the low spots in the yard unlike years before when some spots would go thigh deep and submerge one of my lychee tree's bases under a foot of water for a week.
