Last night as I was finishing loading up our van (at 10 pm) for our vacation, I realized that I hadn’t written on my blog…again. This shouldn’t be this hard to keep up with, but I haven’t read my book. Then duh, it hit me. I have been reading the newspaper every morning. We have been at my mom’s a lot this week because we are redoing our bathroom. We only have one. Enough said, sorry.
Wednesday the front page article was about the drought and how it is affecting parts of our state. An interview with a Don Distler, a biologist that lives along the Ninescah River, explained how he can walk along the bank in the evenings and not get bit by mosquitoes. That in itself is an oddity. There are pools where the fish and other wildlife are living but there isn’t free flowing water. Records are very close to being set.
As we drove across Kansas today, the drought is even more apparent. Many of the farm ponds are drastically low. Creeks are very green but no running water. It will be interesting to see how the rest of this crazy summer turns out.
