Really hoping some of this rain makes it to central Alabama.
Take heart.
Grass was crunchy and trees dying here in Texas this time last year, arguably the worst drought on record. Wildfire everywhere, just terrible.
This year we’ve had more rain than we know what to do with. August, which is usually brown, was bright green. The pecan trees, which we expected would die from drought, are now so loaded with fruit that their branches are breaking. Honest.
Debate among farmers here is which year was worse, the one in which nothing grew or the one with bumper crops that rotted in wet fields. At least this year the cattle have water.
The pendulum swings. Sometimes we have to go through valleys to appreciate the boring plains!
May Humberto bless you with rain.
