Drought

Worry

I have heard from friends near Tiny House Ontario that it still has not rained a drop.  The Weather Network calls for rain on Thursday but they have not been right yet when calling for rain.  They said that there would be rain there today, for example.

I am afraid that my garden looks like this (or worse):

I am even more afraid that worried that the trees are still falling and I hope that THO is safe there alone in the drought.

I won’t get back there for a few more days to water, I have no idea what to expect when I return there on Sunday.

Reading Outside

Over the last weeks of heat wave, I wished I could lay down outside to read when it was simply too hot to do anything else.

I mentioned this to my husband and magically he had a solution.  A zero gravity chair.  $50 (at Canadian Tire) I believe, he said.

Thank you!  I love it!

The Force of Nature!

My husband and I were sitting in the cloth porch this afternoon.  We were discussing plans for the next week because he is away on business and I had to return to Hamilton for the week because there is a list of things that need doing here.  Suddenly there was a HUGE explosive noise that happened not too far away from the house.  I could tell that it was within the property that belongs to us, just South East of Tiny House Ontario.

My husband is not a rural born person and he was puzzled, but I knew right away that we were losing some HUGE trees to the drought.

We walked back through the land.  All of the forest small plants are dead, small trees too are failing.  We found the big tree that we thought had come down but then we saw that not only was one down but quite a few came down.  We lost a lot in last year’s tornado but now one of the biggest trees on the property lost a huge part and there are about 8 more trees that have come down.  We did not stay too long back at the ridge, there was still a lot of noise coming from the trees and I certainly do not want to be under one of those if they fall!

Can you see the tree spirits in the images?

My God!  We need rain.
