Rejoicing in Dust Bowl!

Instead of Mudville :D

Don't know the official count yet, but we had rain and more rain and even more rain yesterday and last night. I told my oldest that we'd likely be seeing farmers in the field, FINALLY, putting out crops for the growing season, however short that may be this year.

As of 1pm yesterday, Bismarck had had 1/2" of rain. They didn't mention Minot, since it's the Bismarck station. :)

But there is some good news... farmers will be planting if they haven't yet. And maybe we'll stop hearing about the drought for awhile. And my lawn will need mowed this week sometime as parts of it, the greener ones or just the GREEN ONES, are getting a little tall. Now to get someone out to clean up the deer poop from the winter! They would eat in our backyard during the winter, so there is poop and dead spots where no grass has come back yet. They hadn't had a winter with the grass in the yard prior to our moving in. Thank goodness for self help it would seem, if you like grass seed laced with weed seed. Seems they'll give you free grass seed to reseed the yard, but don't mention the weeds are also in there. So, they give you weed killer too. How nice of them, making us do the work twice :)

Hopefully this rain will have helped the greening up of the yard overall. I've been avoiding that trip to self-help.
