Monday I checked the weather, it called for rain tomorrow, cloudy Sunday and rain everyday next week. By Monday afternoon, there was a slight chance for rain end of week and no call for rain next week.
Last night, ABC notified me: āSummer temps and drought like weather with no end in sight.ā
Our pasture has been a dry lot all summer, but itās now almost sand itās so hard and dry. Moonshine is struggling with cracked hooves and an impact on his asthma from the dust, which in turn is hard on his heart condition because of his breathing.
We have fall crops we wanted to plant with the softened ground, water just isnāt cutting it and our summer veggies didnāt yield near as much as we need for the year for our family alone.
The grass is suffering to the point we canāt add the animals we were planning to bring in already. Itās been a whole mess.
Normally with the horses, Iām praying things will dry out but itās been dry for months, we need the rain. š«¶š½
