@CrealCritter are the St Louis storms staying to the west of you?

Partly sunny, right now 😎, we had some good rain this morning though 👍. According to radar, it looks like those storms will track north of us.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

It is 105 today. Only maybe 8inch of rain in over month. When we get a chance of rain it goes around where I live. We need a,nice soak or we will have alot of trees to cut down this winter. Trees are looking bad and my garden looks so sad. Small Chance of rain tomorrow and all weekend we can only hope and pray it dont go around.

i hope you get some rains soon! without the well here we'd have probably already given up. i've watered everything in the gardens multiple times per week for the past few months except the strawberry patch. now the strawberry patch is almost completely brown except a few plants here or there - it's ok, the whole thing needs some work and renovation.

the biggest crops we grow are the tomatoes and beans. i don't want to lose those so i keep them watered. they are worth the time and $ since we do get so much back from them.

Heard on a weather forecast this morning that it'll take 17 inches of rain to get us out of this drought...

And still....both days combined add up to less than a quarter inch of rain. Hmmmm....wonder if the pond filled up? LOL!

Even if your pond is a small, shallow saucer --- I'd bet on "NO".🤣🤣🤣

Are you filling the piggy wallow?

I had a fast shower this afternoon. Only enought to prevent mowing yard. 🤨

@CrealCritter ... if you were watching that video of the lines for the sale barn in Emery TX, there were over 100 trailers there in line... in both directions... they had over 3500 head that Sat at the sale when their normal numbers this time of year run 1500 +/-. Most of the sale barns in the drought areas are reporting about double the numbers of animals than normal this time of year. There is NOTHING to feed them... no grass, no hay to be found at most any price. And now there are reports of some water sources drying up.
When these animals cycle through the systems... and the cull cow numbers have been 4 times normal... there will be that many less animals for breeding and that many less feeder calves for the next couple years. Heifers put on feed for slaughter are 3% higher than this time last year... that is further depletion of the breeding population.
The drought monitor map is scary. Look at New England... they never ever have those kinds of drought up there... and you are talking areas where they get an average 1 inch a week... similar to here in Va.... not that they are a big cattle or crop producing area,,,,but the trends are not good. Normally there is alot of influence from the Atlantic ocean... but not this year.
