I'm not arguing. Just take it as it comes. This is usually our driest time of year.

We bit the bear today.

Send it down stream. We dried up and need it. We wouldn't be quite so bad if it wasn't so hot, but things aren't looking so good.

Just did this about an hour ago.................

Dunno what the coming months might bring. I can say...............this is making tons of fuel for this Winter's wild fires

Things are changing in a bad way.

I see some responses to this thread, and I hope the best to y'all. You need rain...........I hope you get rain. This might all be flipped on its head next year........who knows.

We have had a good year here, although getting first crop hay up was tough and a lot got rained on. I was lucky and got all mine up good. It is a bit dry now, but last night we got 2/10 with a 5% chance of rain. Looks like a couple days of rain coming up. Not to worry, ill have to cut my oats soon so it should start raining again. Lol

We got short thundershower this afternoon: 4/10 of an inch. The garden liked it.

Got almost an inch this morning. No hay on the ground, no straw in the field. Just pure pleasure.

Got another 1.7 between 5 and 7 PM, so a solid 2.6 at least.

Got a little overnight but it's the first rain since 7-31. And my hay hasn't been cut yet.

We went down through Ohio on the 127 Yard Sale as far as Celina last Thursday and Friday. It seemed spotty, in and out of wet and dry.

Driest summer I have ever seen in central Maine, only got a couple inches in July and zero the last 4 weeks with temps in the 80's and 90's, 100 the last 2 days. Starting to see some forest fires.

Its rained 7-1/4" here in a week this water snake was looking for higher ground. Its the first one I have seen around the shop. You can see the pipe to the right I have some more near where I an standing.

My driveway pipe is about stopped up I have called about it for years. They told me to get the pipe they would replace it that was 3 years ago.
