The whole town has a smile on their face- except for a couple of city slickers that wanted to go golfing tonite :roll: How a little moisture can change the feelings of a rural community is unbelievable...
We had an inch by the time I left for the bull sale about noon... Half way during the sale a friend of mine that was buying bulls for a neighbor received a phone call from him and told him that they had received 1.7 inchs on his pasture land near Circle and the creeks were running- and 1.2 at his house west of town and for him to "Buy More Bulls....He ended up getting 6- but actually wanted more....
Waterhole was packed with everyone celebrating and even the tight wad equipment dealers timbering the bar :wink: ....Dealer told me he had 22 new combines sold- just dependent on if they were going to be needed...Million dollar rain for him....
Just got home and we have 1.8 inchs of rain in the gauge- and I don't know how much wet snow sticking around the edges--ground is now white...Weather boys forecast 80% chance- and up to 2 more inchs of wet snow tonite....
Wife reports that it doesn't sound like my new granddaughter wants to appear in this world until tomorrow when the sun is predicted to be shining and the grass growing....Don't blame her....
Definitely a BILLION dollar rain.....
