Well here in Texas we've had 100 degree days for a week and next week looks similar so the ground is baking and cracking here also.howdy @hebrewhousewife! hey how far are you guys North anyway?
Those cracks look like ours, they do get to be about 5 or 6 inches across!
here's what one of our ponds look like:
we gonna have to start prayin for rain.
God bless you guys up there!
We are way up there, quite close to Canada.
My sister lives near San Antonio, and I’ve visited her in August a few years back. Oh man, I could not be outside unless I was in water. I don’t know how you all stand it.
I’m guessing the pond used to be all the way to the top?
My husband always says, “Don’t ever pray for rain, pray for a good crop.” Because once you ask for rain, it never seems to quit! That was 2016 for us.
lol! yes you go from one extreme to the next and opposite!
that's so we don't run out of things to complain about.
enjoy the short summer while you can though..and as far as the weather here, we're NE of Dallas so it's not even close to the humidity of those guys in San Antonio. I'm like you, I don't know how they do it. they say they get used to it but who'd want to?
Did your family start out up North and just your sister moved down to TX? and if so, why? lol
my take on the weather here: 3 brutal months of heat, then the rest of the year it's heaven!
My favorite time of the year is spring and fall, cool and crisp. Of course, if you blink too long, they come and go before you even notice. Up here, we have 2 seasons: winter and road construction.
Yes, we grew up here. My sister was previously married to an Air Force man, which led them to TX.
winter and road construction. lol. because the roads get tore up all winter and then repaired all summer. yeah we lived in Northern Ohio for many years. did you ever think about moving a little farther South so that you could enjoy more temperate weather?
