Glad you are getting some relief from the drought, every little bit
helps. It sounds like your rivers will be rising, now.

The drought in Texas was 2010-2012, and we seemed to have wildfires and
grass fires all over the place. Here at the house, we lost 5 huge oak
trees that had to come down, plus a couple of trees in the wooded areas,
and we still have a burning ban. Right now, our drought is in south
Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, where Janet Wilder lives. This is where we
grow much of our crops.
