Spending significant time in grasslands today revealed the effects of this year's drought. Much of the grass that is normally shoulder high is only knee high. The height of the grass varies significantly depending upon the slope of the land and the soil type. It's easy to see where there was more moisture because the grass is normal height. Grass is resilient and will return to normal when the rains return.
Much corn is being harvested now in perfect weather. What the yields and moisture content of the corn remains to be seen. A couple of rooster pheasants flushed by a combine flew into a grassy fence line.
A turtle was spotted sunning on a log. Isn't it time for them to bury into the mud for winter's hibernation? A flock of cormorants flushed from Lake Joanne as I passed nearby. It's soon time for them to migrate south.
Takk for alt,
