We did get a couple of inches of rain two weeks ago and that helped tremendously, but other than that it has been very dry for a very long time. La Nina should end around May and el Nino will return. Maybe then we'll get rain.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275431955885463071.post-46106205892658772042011-03-22T17:40:29.947-05:002011-03-22T17:40:29.947-05:00There has to be moisture in the soil for it to com...There has to be moisture in the soil for it to come up...we've had no rains of more than 1/4" in 6 months except a 2-incher in December.

Many people still swear by, although science has pretty much debunked it. Regardless of all that though, that "Supermoon" certainly was something to see last night!Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275431955885463071.post-4185260611271400762011-03-20T06:14:43.139-05:002011-03-20T06:14:43.139-05:00I remember reading about this in the Foxfire book ...I remember reading about this in the Foxfire book series that came out ages ago. They were full of such lost wisdom from the Appalachians. Last night's moon was indeed spectacular.
