Rain, GLORIOUS rain for the last four days.
Everything looks like it is so thankful. The flowers and grass are making an effort to look green and colorful.
Some of the trees are even starting to put on tiny, new leaves. Some of them will not make it. So sad. We lost a lot of huge trees this spring during strong winds because they were so shallow rooted from 4 years of drought. Those poor roots were reaching for any water they could find.

Hopefully, the rain we have gotten so far will save the farmers crops. They are struggling to just break even this year. We didn't get any horse hay this spring and now we might not get any at all. Our horses, Chessie and Red Man  will not be very happy this winter if we don't get hay.  Keeping a positive thought that the hay fields will come back out.

Our garden is lost. Besides the lack of rain, the deer and turkeys eaten what they could. Next year, electric fence will be the first thing that goes in the garden. A lot of work for nothing. Never again.
Now the humidity is almost unbearable. But you take the good with the bad, smile and keep your mouth shut. Enough said.
