Same here in sou'Tx.  Having the most glorious and long-awaited consistent rain - finally busting some of the drought!

Couldn't find a standing accessible rain gauge spot without plant or structure interference. Wiring to the fence was prone to wind movement and not sure where I'd want a permanent wooden post. So for now, I decided on stacking stumps from a tree removal. Wood mushrooms have grown and rocks have been filled in to level.

Same here. We're in the midst of drought with no real relief in sight. We had exactly one week of winter this past season and it looks like an insanely hot summer on the way.

Not where I am. Sort of a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and cold wetter winters. But as someone said to me, "This is Australia. There is no normal." We can have over a decade of drought followed by enough rain to fill the reservoirs in a month then flood everything downstream. And the weather patterns seem to be shifting with global climate change.

Aren't you coming into the monsoon down there?

I think I will wait until it stops raining to install my new rain gauge

Sometimes I despair, but then I stop.

This is a great smelling Spring day

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day...

REALLY!

Saying that one is educated and qualified in certain areas is not the same as saying or claiming that they are smart.  

Being smart is what that person does with the acquired education and experience.

But you knew that already, right ?

This unreality show just gets weirder & weirder by the day. 🙄

BTW, that Martin Short thing on Netflix is worth watching. Many things about his early years that I did not know and were pretty dang cool, like him hanging out with some unexpected movie star pals. I was a massive SCTV fan, of course, along with Harvard Lampoon, National Lampoon, and National Lampoon Radio Hour Half Hour. That was such a time.

If you have to tell people how smart you are, then you're probably not.
