All plants suffered from the lack of rain.  Brown areas in lawns and pastures grew.  By the end of the week corn plants had a variety of cob sizes depending on the location of the field and where in the field they were located. Many hill tops had small cobs and more dry leaves than at low spots.  Kernels were formed on the cobs, a few were dry enough to be dented.  Soybeans plants were similar.  Most pods had bumps where the seeds were forming.  Seeds were still wet and swollen.  Few farmers cut hay because they didn't want to kill the plants.  Some spots in pastures had plants that were not regrowing.  Apples were falling.  Some trees were too dry to hold onto the apples, some apples were ripe.  Many early varieties were almost done by the end of the week.  Most mid season varieties were winding down and late season varieties had apples still filling out.  Some gardens were close to done and a few gardeners were happy to not need to be watering so often.  A few tiny spots of colored leaves on trees could be seen around the horizon by the end of the week.  Some trees continued to drop leaves, some green and some colored.  A few wild grasses were wilted by the end of some days.  The creek remained dry mud in areas with a few small murky pools with wet mud next to the water.  Many animals stayed near water.  Some cranes were seen foraging in fields with low plants, some combined oats and others hay or pasture.   A young colt was seen with one adult pair.  It was easily smaller and more gray than the adults, defiantly a late hatchling.  Most geese looked the same this week, of the few seen.  Deer were grazing near and after dark, bucks still in velvet and some fawns still had spots.  Tansy flower heads were mostly brown.  Goldenrod hadn't hit peek before the end of the week.  Wildfire danger was moderate with stubble and dried grasses and leaves.  Dust continued through the week.
