Relief, Response & Restrictions
|
| Wet month of September so far, tracking 440% of historical. The temps have cooled and rain spaced out over several days. The pastures have greened seasonally, and the livestock seem to appreciate the change. So after 2+ months of no rain it’s a relief and the increased moisture this month balances out the lack of rain the previous months. |

| We haven't received any rain this week, so the soil has dried out after the heavy rain event we had at the end of last week. I have had to water an area of my yard where I spread grass seed so that it continues to grow. It has been super-hot again this week...highs in the upper 90's are too much for mid-September. I see pumpkins and mums for sale at our local stores, but with the afternoon temperatures it doesn't feel like fall at all. I see birds flitting around the yard, but other than that I am not seeing much wildlife. Last week's rain caused the grass to grow so I will be mowing in the heat this weekend before more rain comes in. |

The high temperature was around seventy four degrees, and the low around fifty four degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating a feederful every other day. Goldenrod, Prunella vulgaris, Soapwort, Chickory, Mugwort and Horse Nettle flowers are in full bloom. Apples are ripening, walnuts are 2" big. All corn have cobs from 8" to 12". A fifth cutting of hay is occurring. Blackbirds are beginning to flock. A few Black Cherry trees, Walnut leaves and spare other trees leaves are beginning to change color. The local intermittent stream is dry and the nearby trout stream is flowing at late-summer levels. |

| Finally! Got some good rain in August and it shows. Streams are running decently; hay and other crops are being harvested; our horses have good pasture; lawns are being mowed; flowers are in bloom, and the view is verdant and lush. (That's odd for this time of year in this locale, but we'll take it after the prolonged drought.) Now we have leaves dropping, goldenrod popping up, and our dogwood trees suddenly sport large, red berries. Nature is moving along. |
