Hi sprkplug. Here, a quick quad ride from the river, we'd had exactly 3" of rain since the end of May. As you can imagine things are crunchy, and ponds hereabouts are suffering. Our pond is down so much I'm actually getting worried about the fish; if something doesn't give soon, I'll have to move them.

Yesterday (Sunday) we finally got 1 7/10", but it was a like a drop on a hot skillet. Has been this way 4 out of the last 5 years.
