Glorious Rain!

Here is to an awesome April! (As of 7 am, 4/16/22) And it is once again, Mining Ridge for the win! Tomorrow, Easter, I can finally finish sowing all those wildflower seeds I got!!! (not recommended, as I normally sow in fall, but also like to sow before a good rain, and just didn’t get that much). I am afraid seed viability might not be good by next fall.

  • Kate,
    Every little bit helps. From looking at your map, it appears about an inch at Rocky Creek. Last time I was down we were getting a few green sprouts in the burnt area.

  • Hi Kate-We have puddles in our camp sites and on our property. It is glorious and our campers are being troopers. And it smells fresh. Enjoy planting those seeds. Hugs.

  • Hey Kate! Our rain gauge is reading nearly 1.5" on Partington! I just spread my old wildflower seeds as well :)

    • Great! Maybe some will take, even though late in the season. If not??? More seed next year, right?
      T’was a glorious rain@ And now for a sunny Easter!
