After record breaking rainfall this spring we are now putting up with very dry conditions and most days well above 85 degrees with below average humidity. Forecast for the next 7 days shows every day 90+ around here.
Last night the Mrs came in and stated she could not close the bolt latch on one of the barn gates. In years gone by I would have though maybe I need to go and adjust it but these days the 1st thing that popped into my mind is if the wooden gate has shrunk from the dryness just imagine how dry my wood piles are getting!
I'm happy about the drying of the firewood but I really wish we would get some decent rain.
