It makes a difference on the farm here because we watch the sun rise and
set over certain trees in the pasture and today is the day it starts the
other way. I move plants around to get the most sun possible. It's been
in the 90's every day for a week here - way too hot. We need rain, too.
My lettuce has all bolted and the raspberries and blackberries have white
heat spots on them. Two of my baby goslings collapsed in the yard from the
heat. I had to put them in a pan of water to revive them. They haven't
learned to go to the pond on their own yet. The chickens sit around
panting with their beaks open - to hot to even search for bugs.
Global warming is here in South Carolina!
