Well, we got a little rain, but no where near enough. I understand farmers are worried about hay crops for the winter, The fields here have rows of big bales, but I’m sure there should have been at least one more cutting, maybe two. I’m worried about the wildlife as well. Deer, normally pretty elusive, have been hanging out close to the house and eating our garden for the first time ever. 
I doubt there will be a nut crop to support the squirrels. The year we moved to our property, there wasn’t a single squirrel on the entire 8 acres, or in the woods behind us. They all starved and froze to death the previous winter. It was two or three years before we spotted one in our yard, and a couple more years before we saw young ones growing up. I hate to think that might happen again this year.
I’m praying for the people affected by this, but I’m praying for the animals too.
