Oh, wow, Judy. Wish you could share, too. Still no rain. They keep teasing us that thunderstorms are in the forecast, but they don't materialize. It was over 100 yesterday. Any grass that is not watered is brown and crispy if there's even anything there anymore.

They've been mowing the highway right of ways just to knock down the tall skinny grasses and weeds that did grow from the little rain we received, and the dust stirred up by the mowers makes such a cloud. I hate driving through them.

The farmers are harvesting what they can of the crops that were planted at just the right time to benefit from the little bit of rain. The harvest is way down, but they are getting what the can out of it. I think some of the soybeans faired the best from what I'm hearing. Corn was not good at all.
