After a long dry period, rainfall has once again returned to Round Rock, Texas! Starting around 4:00 pm yesterday afternoon, the rain has kept on throughout the night and is still going at this time. I don’t have a rain gauge (bad me!), but I have a fire pit on the porch and several five-gallon buckets which serve the purpose quite handily.

My guess, just looking at what was in the fire pit, is that we received about 2-3 inches of rain so far. I’m expecting more and will GLADLY take whatever the clouds can deliver. On a high note as well, I ventured out this morning and was happy to see that my bush beans and lettuce from my fall planting has sprouted! Also, the winter squash and cabbage I planted in the growing bins have burst through as well.
