Yesterday I witnessed a very large flock of cranes, very high altitude, headed South. It did not look like they were even going to pull over for a rest like they normally do.

What does a crane look like when it's ready to pull over for a rest?

Hadrianna, I remember your drought. You can get truckloads of wood chips from the city tree chipper crews for free (they go around trimming all the branches that get in the way of the power lines). If you got them to drop you a load or two now [you can never have too much mulch], it will be rotted sufficiently to rototill into your garden next spring. Just add more lime than usual, and more nitogen

I live in North GA and growing up I remember it being this hot - BUT, not this dry.
We had a thunderstorm everyday it seemed like - quick, violent, and the steam would come up off the pavement. It rained almost daily.
In 2008 we had the worst drought in history. 2009 it rained a lot. 2010 another bone crushing drought in my area - not all over Georgia, just North Georgia, in patches.
Everyone's given up on their gardens here. It's been so, SO dry. Even watering doesn't help.
The leaves are turning early - might just be the trees dying from lack of rain. I dunno.
SO FAR THIS SEASON...OVERALL TROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY TO DATE IS ABOUT 50 PERCENT ABOVE THE LONG-TERM MEAN.
