The next day after I watered the bushes and some of the yard, we enter a rainy period. Today around the Jackson, MS area, we had 2 1/2 inches of rain. It has been raining off and on all week and 70% chance for tomorrow and 50% chance for Saturday. I was happy to see it. August around here is usually dry so maybe we have enough to get the bushes and trees through until the rains comes again. I hope the rest of the country gets some soon.
