Can you say drought?
Today we discussed whether or not we needed to mow our pond. The water level is so low grass is beginning to grow where fish used to swim. We could use some rain and use it now. The millet we planted for hay is not growing and we are not sure if it will be worth the price of diesel to bail it. Thankfully our well from which we water our cows seems to be okay.
The forecast is calling for rain next week and our fingers and toes are crossed. The rain is suppose to come on a holiday; but I think it will be a holiday just to hear rain on our metal roof.
Signs you are in a drought:
1) the grass crackles when you walk
2) Jake has forgotten he is afraid of thunder
3) you don't mind having a holiday rained out
