Along with most of the nation, we are in a state of drought. I heard the other day our state is 14 inches below normal as far as rainfall goes so far this year. Farmer's Almanac says we should start seeing more wet weather by the end of August, which would be great news if it wasn't a whole month from now!
We had one day of relief last week, sandwiched between sweltering, record breaking, triple digit temperatures. It may have been only an inch and a half of rain, but it was wonderful while it lasted.

| Even the chickens enjoyed it! Normally, they would all go to the barn and wait for the rain to end, but not this time! |
 |
| The dry, hard-packed earth quickly became puddles, and in some places there was still standing water the entire following day! |
 |
| What is left of our garden after the grasshoppers had their way with it. And note the black locust tree in the background, has also been stripped of all it's leaves. |
