My lawn was looking better all the time until I got my latest water bill a couple of days ago.:eek: I bought two more soaker hoses today, so I can water just around the foundation. The rest of it may be brown very soon.:(

Grass getting crunchy around here as well. We got normal hay production for our first cutting. If we don't get some rain soon, there may not be much of a second cutting.

So sorry for the folds in the northeast, I work midnights and had no idea they were flooding. wish we could spare them some of that rain, we need it!!

I took these pictures about 2 weeks ago in my front yard. Still no rain. I only water up close to the house like Bird is starting to do. This week I tryed to cut a fire break around the fence row and broke a hitch pin on my 2 bottom breaking plow.

Also this week I saw corn being cut for hay. Not enough rain for the corn to make ears so might as well feed it to the cattle.

Thank the Lord, we got 2.92" last week. That was more than we had received in total the first six months of the year. The pastures are green. There is water in a laguna that had been bone dry for two years. The cattle are not even coming into the pens for hay, and forbs are sprouting out for the deer. Perhaps it is too much to hope that the drought that has consumed us for over two years has broken, but a whole lot of folks down here know that our prayers were answered.

Sunny and dry here in Oregon. The sprinklers are on everyday, flowers are blooming and the lawn started to show some brown spots. The pastures are drying up except in the tree shades.
