31. I really hope that we do. My magnolia tree has dried up so bad...

More of its leaves are on the ground than on the branches.

I was outside today refilling containers that I put around the yard for the poor critters and birds.

I have a wild rabbit family that lives underground by one of my trees. Deer that visit at night. And bad as I hate them, snakes & coyotes too. Possums and squirrels. I have a huge owl that lives close by and literally bats in one of the barn lofts. They all must be parched.

I even ran the hose under the deck for a while because I know that there are frogs and lizards, beautiful skinks, that live there. I feel so bad for them all.

Thanks so much for your encouraging words, blm.
