It sure is a nice change from the dry, dusty, hot summer days. The seasons sure do make our lives different in many ways. Having the ability to adapt to many types of conditions is not only a learned art but a form of survival. |

You should have been in Texas this last year! We are lucky to get rain today! |

Don't forget: Turn up the minutes on your automatic watering devices, by watering more in the morning with an additional sprinkling at night to keep your mushrooms and fungus down. Water your garden more frequently, in the mornings are best. And don't forget your animals, make sure they have plenty of shade and water. |
