No crystal ball...but everywhere I go now all I hear is a lot of hope for the wettest Fall in history. After Fall passes, I guess I'll be hearing the same about Winter. The local churches have spent a lot of money on signs urging people to pray for rain.
I made a few "artificial bushes" out of old plastic pipe I had. The wife is glad I'm using up some of my "junk".

So far, we've gotten 1 3/4 inches of rain since I finished digging.
Does anyone see anything that I should be doing while it is still basically empty?
Dave, I do want to get a trailer load of those cedars from you. Think you'll be in Bowie the weekend of Oct 12? I'll be happy to buy lunch...
