The small dug pond in our pasture is almost dry. It is usually full all spring. The grass on our septic mound is getting dry enough to need watering.
The South Fork of the Crow River where County Rd 2 crosses it between Glencoe and Silver Lake is getting lower slowly every time I drive by. Soon I expect to see sand bars.
Crops are growing nicely, however, and the little sprinkle we had today will help settle the dust on the gravel road for a day or two.
On the other hand, our neighbor got all his first cutting of hay baled without getting any rain on it.
