This is a pic from out a back window, the rain gauge says 3 3/4" since yesterday, this is looking at the back yard to the right side. Raised vegetable garden (with weeds) with the rain gauge on the end. Making the grass grow and rising your lake... thanks Good for the ducks...

Being from Fla you know how that works. 9 minutes ago, billybob said: Good for the ducks... Lol Wild ducks and geese use the pond and back yard alot. We stopped buying baby Mallards because they would grow up and leave with the visiting ducks, or something would eat them before they grew up, they would just disappear from the group. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How close is your nearest neighbor? To the back right about 1000' and across the street about 500'-700' to the left and much further in other directions. 41 minutes ago, oldtimer said: They all moved away... Not yet, but they are nice, we get along fine, the one to the back right is OK but his wife is just crazy, her husband don't even talk to her it seems but we never hear anything from them. 32 minutes ago, billybob said: Sadly, do not have a bushhog here...😚 Me neither, but a 6' finishing mower get's used alot. Shiva here is a pic to get an idea, just short of 6 acres. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Whoa, a 1000 feet in some directions. That is some serious elbow room. 👍 So many in this country, would have no idea what that would be like to have so much space around their abode. Nice ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 14, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thank you, we do like the privacy, we had always lived in subdivisions, and were lucky to have good neighbors, but this is much better. Been here over 20 years, couldn't live like we did before. Posted pic rain gauge almost 2 hours ago at 3 3/4', it's at 4 3/4" now, and this is off and on rain not steady. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted July 14, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2019 It does make it easier, I put a roof over it to stay out of the sun. But if i didn't need the tractor for other things a good zero turn can actually cut more acres per hour and would have been cheaper. But it's not going anywhere I love my tractor, and the older I get the more I love it, it can still move heavy things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain and clouds the only thing keeping it somewhat tolerable around here. Oh, and the gulf breeze of course...place 20 minutes from here has fried mullet and swamp cabbage, cheese grits and hush puppies... You and Christy drop by sometime...they ha ve other fish so ... cool...lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 looks like a slice of heaven, @dtel Bluebird skies this AM. Sounds like an oxymoron... sunny and warm enough to rain. That's how it works, though. Some popcorn cumulus clouds are getting ideas now. I love the monsoon season. We see a lot more rain than we get. Kind of gambler's rush when it actually happens.

Never had mullet before and don't know what swamp cabbage is, cheese grits and hush puppies is good. That's one thing there a million ways to do hush puppies it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Mullet from clear water is delicious. Mullet from muddy water is trash fish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East coast Florida mullet while edible has a short shelf life. Typically black mullet from the big bend and farther south in the gulf, have been smoked or fried for generations. Before that, the native people. It was an industry at the mouth of the Suwannee around 1860. Sure there are some I would not eat... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 82 degrees when I left for work this morning. 95% humidity. It's like walking through a clear fog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC39693 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hope all the folks in Louisiana are ok. We've actually had tornado warnings for Calgary and tornado sightings further north. Crazy. Hoping for a few days of mid/high 70's F and no rain! Please stop the rain. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boucoup rain, three full days of it off and on. I recorded 3.2" @ my house (three day collection), which is pretty low considering. I'm sure some areas saw 6+ inches collectively. This morning since sunrise is the first four + hours of zero rain @ my residence. Our local Lake Ponchartrain rose three feet from the storm surge itself. Lots of street flooding in some areas. I have not heard a single death reported on the local tv news in southern Louisiana attributed to Hurricane Barry, which is great news. Thankfully Barry barely made hurricane status/intensity before making landfall.

Kidd Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 In Arizona , 95% of the rain does not make to the ground , evaporates before hitting . We are in monsoon season , soon the rains will start and cool the deserts , then the deserts will green up for a while Where I live , it was 68 degrees this morning In Phoenix , 89 degrees this morning reaching a high if 114 degrees today , I'd hate to work outside in that heat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
