Is everyone else having as dry a spring as we are here? We haven't had any rain for over two weeks, and there isn't any predicted for the rest of April. I installed two more water barrels this year thinking I was gonna be all set by the first week in May, they are bone dry. To top it off we only got 2 days of rain in March.

It is VERY wet here in the PNW.

Seems like it has rained every day since the start of the month.
I have trenches around the patch and there has been standing water there since I can remember.

I'd be happy to share some rain with you Owen.

Appalachian Mtns.

The ground in the NE Tennessee/ NW North Carolina Appalachian Mtns has been saturated since November, plenty of water. But we tend to, generally, have a high precip average year round anyway.

Caceres, mid west of Spain

Here is raining cats and dogs and hens and cows and horses... Over the West of Spain, last week almost a Monzon fell down over the East of Spain. Rainiest fall, winter and now spring I've ever known. While I am writing is raining, and last night was a rainy night, like we were in Georgia.
I wish I could send a little to you Owen.
