| A very hot and dry weather pattern remained over the area this week with only 0.06" inches of measurable rainfall being observed. I looked at how much rain I have recorded for August 2026, which is 0.17" inches, and it is officially my second driest rainfall total I have measured for any August since I started reporting precipitation amounts for cocorahs in 2014. Next, our soil conditions remain dry and sandy with no noticeable moisture in any of our topsoil. Our grasses, and trees remain in a stressed state at this time due to a lack of rain, and I have noticed that most of our local animal activity has been occurring in the morning and during the evenings. Lastly, It is my hope we can begin to bring in our cool Fall temperatures and hopefully some rainfall at some point in the future, however I glanced at the forecast for the next week and It appears hot temperatures and no rainfall will continue for sometime into the future. |

| With another 0.77” of rain earlier this week, conditions remain near normal for end of August. The Pascoag reservoir has held steady at 8’11” and is not quite overflowing the spillway. Canadian geese are getting noisy on the lake getting ready to migrate. We are also seeing the Bald Eagle, Blue heron and various hawks. We haven’t heard the Baltimore orioles for the last week or so, so they may have left for the season. The lawn is growing fast and needs mowing more than once per week. Our tomatoes continue to produce like crazy, another bumper crop. For flowers, the Rose of Sharon and Tree Lilac are in full bloom while we sadly cut our last gladiolus of the season for the vase in the kitchen. They are such great cut flowers. Fire danger is posted as Low at George Washington state campground. Boating and fishing continues on the lake but has slowed down a bit now that the local kids are back in school. |

No threat to them here. Spotted a few new fawns, very close to their moms. Have not seen the Porcupine or any rabbits. The odd time, we hear a pheasant. The foxes must be busy, out of sight. At least there is now creek water to drink. People-wise, its busy. Families prepping for start of school year. Yellow buses appearing in parking lots. Summer holidays soon to end. Tourism buses very busy, keep on comin'. Overhead NS Power work on Peggy's Cove Rd making excellent progress. Never seen so many boom/bucket trucks working on one road, at the same time. 2-3 per location. Big work. Our Burn Ban map transitioned from mostly Green on Tue, to mostly Yellow today. Dang that Hx! |
