Must go now and tend to the present.  We finally got enough rain to really do some good.  Monday we got 1 1/4 inches, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday it rained most of the day but very lightly so the ground has had a great drink.  The gardens are not pooling so I guess they could use more.  Today we will weed and feed the plants that are perking up.  Have a great day.
