I hope you got the rain from those clouds.<br /><br />For the past couple of years in Oz we had rain, rain and more rain through summer. <br />But the few years before that were bad drought years, similar to what you are describing, with lots of water restrictions.<br /><br />Sending lots of rain clouds your way.<br />cheers<br />FiTea with Prudencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065738620618180181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758419071318872390.post-45615814410687228492012-07-19T07:35:06.076-07:002012-07-19T07:35:06.076-07:00The majority of the country right now is needing r...The majority of the country right now is needing rain. We are dry also but have been getting some hit and miss storms with rain. The only bad thing is the lightening hitting and catching fire.

The jet stream is in the wrong place ... but they keep saying on UK TV that it's about to move north in time for the Olympics and then things should be more normal. Wonder if that will help you guys if it really happens? <br /><br />My heart goes out to the farmers and the businesses that are struggling - there's no way to prepare for anything like that. Let's pray for rain for you and a bit of sun for us.Fionahttp://handmadebyfiona.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758419071318872390.post-29121748815774836032012-07-17T21:50:03.165-07:002012-07-17T21:50:03.165-07:00I feel "our" pain.

I think many, many people are praying for rain right now. As rough as it is, this makes me glad I've got my garden to help cushion us from the rising food prices I can see on the horizon.<br />Hope you get some rain soon.<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758419071318872390.post-9884355156887742622012-07-17T18:18:38.538-07:002012-07-17T18:18:38.538-07:00Hi Cindy bee,It humbles us all how were not in con...Hi Cindy bee,It humbles us all how were not in control of nature.

It was not enough to get us through the winter so we were going to cut our herd in half but now since we are feeding early we will have to sell more than we planned. This was to be a good year for prices after years of bad prices so a lot of farmers are going to take a beating. We hope to break even on the cost of taking our hay off (expensive fuel and baler twine, and land rent) and pay the accumulated bills but it is starting to look very doubtful. It is emotionally hard to sell most of what you have worked so very hard to raise.<br />Squeeze those clouds we don't even see them lately. It is a very sad thing food is going to be scarce and expensive.
