Some fine looking country there, glad to see there is something green there. Its pretty dingy down here in deep south Texas, waiting for the inevitable rains during Whitewing Dove season to come and give us some rain. Unless Ernesto beats that to the punch.
Had a small rain shower yesterday but we're still pretty dry. Just green around the edges...still need a lot more rain. Unfortunately, if we don't get some sort of tropical storm in the Gulf to push some moisture our way it's going to turn a little browner.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.

Love to have just an acre, in the middle of all that!

Unfortunately, a lot of the river front property isn't for sale, is way too expensive or you have to buy a huge number of acres.
Best I've managed is a few acres on a wet creek.
Thanks Ed.
