    I have found that when you finally water that's when the rain comes. Jason you are an exceptional Homesteader!! The care you have for your animals, gardens, everything is exemplary. I know Lorraine is proud & thankful to be married to a man of your character. Blessings

    It brought back memories for me. My friends and I would put on our bathing suits and run and play in the rain (as long as there wasn't thunder and lightning). It was glorious. Made for a perfect summer day.

    I would dig a pond at a high point in the property, fill it with ducks, then fertigate with a pump and a hose. Plants go nuts for that poopy water, grass being no exception. Silvopasture would help your grass stay green in the dry months, and you could plant nut and fruit trees to feed your animals. Even certain oak species have less tannins and make great pig fodder. You could grow pecans and hazelnuts and chestnuts and walnuts and hickory nuts. So go nuts!!! 😂

    You did good! You got them all watered and checked on BEFORE the rain came and would have soaked you to the bone! As nice as rain can feel on a hot day, it's still not fun to have to work in it and I am sure your animals all appreciate having fresh water, rain or no! You are a shining example of what homesteading is meant to be and why so many of us want to join you, not because of all the hard work, but because of the compassion and care that goes into everything you do and raise. Something that is severely lacking in the foods sold in most grocery stores!

Has not rained on our property since third week of May. I call this time in the hot south…..my winter. Outdoor time is limited. ALMOST, makes me miss the MN winters we used to endure.

They say the heat index last week hit 111. Meanwhile my thermometer on the porch in the shade said it was 115 actually temperature. So, all thermometers tell lies or the weather apps do.

I was out in the heat (102 degrees actual temp) all day dropping pounds and pounds of ice on the ground in my coops to keep my 104 broiler chickens cooled. It was 106 degrees in the coops even with fans running full speed. Send some rain our way.
