August Happenings

Rain total for August ended at 4.12. Last couple of days cooled off somewhat with overcast skies. Into September...

Rain up to 3.42 as of August 27th, with more expected on the 28th. With this rain, even though its late August, the goal of 800 rolls of hay may be achieved. However, the rain will probably stop the logging crew currently working off of Rob Hill from getting the timber from the bottom along the creek and below the Muddy Pond. There is or was a beaver dam and the dry time in August with the 100 plus heat days had dried it out maybe enough to clean up, but this latest rain might cause the crew to move on across the road.

Got 1/2 inch for August through the 17th. Need more to push the hay production up. News sites report record heat, with the 11th straight day of 100+
Big D rolled some more, said about 30 rolls on the south side of Davis Pond. Puts the preliminary count at 652 at August 21st. Count is up to 690 by August 24th.

As of August 6th, there were 622 rolls. Looks like 800 is possible. No rain so far in August, and the cows need watering at BR's. Big D has found 2 hornet nests, with both on the high line. One is to the north of the road and the other is south. Both are about chest high. Does the height mean anything in relation to the upcoming winter?
