Last week a couple of solid falls now overnight 104 mm. This is after 3

Sometimes it seems as if it just oscillates between fire and flood with
intervening droughts, doesn't it? In my area something happened last Spring
and Summer that prevented nut growth so I've got starving squirrels digging
up all of my bulbs to survive, even the toxic Gloriosa were being eaten.
Last Autumn the acorns and hickory nuts were literally lying in drifts
because of the overproduction and the squirrel population exploded in response.
