Thanks, Margaret. I no longer allow the children to play in our woods (we have 90 acs). When a nice wind comes, huge branches fall, and it is quite dangerous. Last week a "branch" the size of a school bus fell very very close to where the children have their favorite play spot.
Things are looking a bit better since this post. We've had an inch of rain since then, and 2 weeks ago the night time temps cooled down. We're still in the mid nineties, but the nights get down to the 50s now. That has helped a whole lot!!
Our fall farmers market was canceled- the farmers just don't have anything to sell. Where we would normally have the beginnings of a fall crop right now, we're just now feeling brave enough to plant brassicas in the ground.
