It seems like it's rained every day for the past five weeks or so. It's crazy. The insect population has exploded, particularly the mosquitoes. It's like a swamp.
Finally, though, there's a string of sunny days ahead. Hot days, too. If that forecast pans out, then the plant life is going to absolutely go insane. The whole Deep South will look like a jungle practically overnight.
But it's still better than drought. I remember the drought of 1998-2000. Back then, it seemed like everything was going to turn to dust. Even full-grown oak trees were stressed. They started dropping their leaves in July of 2000; that's how bad it was. In August, though, the drought broke, and we had two weeks of non-stop rain, and then the yard was full of mushrooms. We haven't a drought like that since, thankfully.
Such a time will eventually come again, of course. Weather and climate are cyclical things. Right now, though, it's just afternoon showers every single day, and I'm looking forward to a few sunny days.
