One assumes the drought is over and gone for now. The sky has been, shall we say, plentiful for the last few days. With the sandy soil the water drains with super haste, but the plants have all been refreshed to the max.
The tree s are certainly restocked in water, but the winds have taken some nice ones. All living trees, which is a puzzle. Why not take the two dead ones down to the ground so I can more easily recycle them? No. Nice living trees losing the whole or top parts. Saw a study in which a guy found that it took 92 mph to take a tree down, no matter the type. While still not sure on this study’s applicability to all trees and situation, we must have had more wind than we thought. The lightening in one was so continuous you could look outside and evaluate if the trees were falling.
Them squirrels seem to take a break, too. They seem to hide out more and visit the sunflower feeders meant for them. One would expect them to not hide out in the search for nosh because rain is more natural to them, just damper than normal. But they do seem to hit the food supply in the yard less these few days. They do stock up so maybe it is all just stored away in some tree hole.
This afternoon’s storms missed mostly to the south, but I see another line way to the west.
