Finally we are getting some rain here. Really, we have been waiting for at least a month. It seems that being on the Southeast side of the city, the storms always go right around us. They will get rain in Bexley or Pataskala, but never here. Well, I know the plants definitely are enjoying it and so are we! We actually got some things accomplished inside the house that have been waiting for a rainy day... which has been a long wait! You can see in the picture that we actually got enough to accumulate in the rain gauge. And, although it may look like a dreary day out on the farm, it is actually quite exciting. This means that our well will get a break from watering all day everyday.
We have already broken our well pump this year from making it work too hard, but the well guy said this one would last another 10 years. I guess it will just depend on how dry our summers continue to be. We only have one well for the house and the farm so it is not run out of water. Especially with flowers, they have to go straight into water. Luckily, we have nice neighbors who let us steal some water from them. But, now we shouldn't have to worry about that. YAY!
