We had about 0.10" of rain last week and now back to dry weather. North mill creek no longer has running water, just a few puddles in the low spots. Pasture is completely dried up and I have to now supplement hay for the cows. Had a few days of field burning smoke and a little from the forest fires but now the air is clear. At last count we had 19 wildfires going in Oregon, most not too big so far but some are causing problems. Gusty winds Friday pushed the Milli fire (SW of Sisters) to the east-southeast, prompting officials to invoke a Level 3 (go now) evacuation for an estimated 600 residents. My neighbors have a little more combing to do (rye grass and radish seed) to finish up their harvest for the year. Lots of people are coming for the eclipse and the roads are getting crowded.
