My lower stock pond is still holding water.
The upper pond is dry for the first time in over 20 years.
The creek (which I won't name, 'cause it would tell people almost exactly where I live) has dried up completely...totally non-existent.
The crossings I built years ago have crumbled...so dry the soil flows out like water.
All my trees have decided to forego autumn...as in no color changes...just go straight to dead and start shedding.
Grass is dead...dead...dead.
Except directly over the sewage field lines.
Deer, turkey and all the other critters can be seen swapping out at the one pond with water in it, reminding me of a scene out of a National Geographic documentary about the African dry season.
The footprints and tractor tread marks from my planting of greens (Collards, mustard and turnip) back in August can still be seen, even though the greens are doing well...but are inedible 'cause they've not had a frost on them yet.
Really bad situation...no end in sight.
Expected high of 86 today, 87 tomorrow...no rain in 10 day forecast.
Yeah, we're in a drought.
Anybody who uses the term “that bitch Hillary” on their home page is alright by me.
I hear you. They are calling for possible 90 degree temps here in Central Alabama through next Thursday. We have already had 4 days this month of 90+, first time I can remember 90 in October in a long time.
