| Area corn is turning yellow. Some soybean pods can be seen from road but still green. Creek through town and in outside area are still running. Our overflow pond is dry. Shovel of soil in back yard and beside back alfalfa field show darkening line around 1 1/2-2" down. We haven't had rain in two weeks. Plants break off when I weed instead of coming with roots. Saw fox and two kits in front alfalfa one day. Lone young deer seen most evenings. Swarms of mostly dragonflies and some birds continue to been seen late afternoons over our fields. Crows are very noisy these days. Off-On power outage 9/2 at 8:21pm. An hour earlier the sky filled with a lot of dark clouds but it went east and no rain here. Plants still look healthy. |

| My backyard is very dry and dusty. My dog loves to play with the Chuck-It tennis ball and he leaves a trail of dust as he runs through the yard. Grass growth is non-existent now and some of it is browning. It has been so hot and dry this week, and a shock to the system after having such a wet spring and summer. It is less humid now which helps, but day after day of sunny, hot days has been its own kind of misery. At least my clothes are drying on the line now. For the most part there hasn't been any wind either, but every now and then we get an afternoon breeze. Several of my annuals have perished in the heat and sun. I was hoping to overwinter them, but I won't have as many this year. I don't see any wildlife moving around in the heat either. |

| The cool and dry conditions of late August gave way to rainy and muggy this past week. Nearly two inches of rain in the gauge the past 4 days. Grass got quite high but still not thick. Never really gave way to weeds this summer! Streams are robust but not overflowing. Bugs have gotten bad, especially bees and gnats. |
