Rain every day almost, hot and very humid. Musical comedy it's been unusual in my opinion. What do you think?
Clearly, this is the worst year I can recall for weather. So much rain. It's really hard on me now that I'm older.
Tsavo, that is the situation we have here in NJ; a choice between hot as hades or cooler temps w/high humidity.
To top it off, there doesn't seem to be a break in sight here. Everyday there is some rain predicted. I don't know what is going to happen with hay. Last fall I luckily got 300 bales of 3rd cut orchard and I have enough for probably 2 more months. Then, I am going to be up a creek w/o a paddle. Fortunately, I can afford to pay top dollar for imported hay from the west, but I really feel for those big boarding barns that go through hay so quickly. If worst comes to worst, I can probably feed my retiree straight senior feed and buy the Stanlee hay from tractor supply for the mare. I have lots of pasture, but they don't want to go out at all in the heat. Come fall, they will be out on grass, so that will save on hay. And then, come november we will start with the rain and wind. The only month that is nice here is October.
