Very hot week, tough on plants and animals. We were lucky to miss strong wind gusts and lightning but still received.62” of rain one evening. The weeds in the garden responded vigorously. Squirrels are going after their favorite shag bark hickory trees, very active at times. Does are bringing their fawns into the fields to graze in the evening. Seeing them frequently. Corn shucks are changing color in certain fields especially the field sides with west sun exposure.
