Good evening all. @Miss Lydia I will send you the rain bomb that's due here Wednesday. Who wants to tell my duck her eggs are infertile, and broodies are not supposed to lay an egg everyday?

Well we could def use the rain.

Us too! - The forecast says 2-4 inches and the weathermen are all over the place with flash-flood warnings and river-warnings… The soil is bone dry here,m i had to water the mustard greens and the strawberries every evening for the last two weeks. A jack-hammer is necessary to dig in the loam.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Ground is like cement here too.
Thank you @Muscovy Wunda

This evening the sky here was on fire

The first cloud-bands from Ian were lightened up by the setting sun and it looked like we were on another planet…

A little earlier it looked like this:

And i got all the hay we have mowed during this week under the roof:

No duck will be cold this winter! I don't have to buy any additional straw.
And wit a little bit of good weather, there is another half of pasture that should be mowed and can be turned into hay. If i can pull that off, the ducks have to learn how to dig tunnels in hay...

Good Saturday Morning and Evening.

we got exactly 1" of rain. Sure better than no rain.

Saturday greetings!

Did the rain actually soak into the ground? How is the internet?

 

[Miss Lydia]

So far internet is on. We keep hoping this other company will call soon and come out for a site survey to see if we can hook up with them.
Still raining up there?
I believe it did soak in I'll know for sure when I go up and open the top gate its just plastic fencing with one of those sharp fence posts that I could hardly get into the ground last evening the ground was so hard.

We're not supposed to have rain all week. I think Ian went and sucked it all out of the atmosphere to dump on you guys.
