Hi Sandy – I was re-reading your comment and it would be quite amazing to have that kind of rainfall throughout the growing season! It seems we both live in relatively mild areas, although on opposite sides of the country. We were quite thankful for our recent rains to replenish our water table and add to the snow pack in the mountains. I am making sure there is water at the birdfeeders when it dips below freezing. Hope all is well out your way!

As a farmer, it becomes second nature to be aware of rainfall or the lack of it. As a naturalist, I’m always checking to see that the birdbaths have a water supply. In my area of southern NY State this year, spring rains were perfect- coming down 1.5″ a week until August. Then we had a shortage of rain and I watched as the creek near me turned into a dry stone bed. Finally in mid October we had 3.5″ of rain over 2 days, bringing everything back to normal. The creek and waterfalls are flowing nicely and all seems right again!
