William Wagner expounded:


Just read a weather guy who wrote this hot dry spell may cause more
damage than a hurricane. I look about my place and notice no color on
trees¹s just a sort of malaise. Been watering by hand on things that
get my attention.
My small home made pond has been needing water more often. But and
here is a something I've not seen before. I have two possums coming to
the pond in daylight. One got caught in my leaf protection fiber
fence. I freed him and with out a snarl he wandered away like drunken
animal.
I was thinking Rabid as I have never seen a possum here before 8o PM.
Must be tough on our wildlife!

It was in the high 80's last week with high humidity, just nasty for
October. It finally rained early this morning, for the first time in
weeks, my weather station registered .65". We need so much more! A
huge catalpa tree down the street is all wilted, I've never seen
anything like it.
