I've been emailing some of my cousins and we got talking about the dry weather. Here's what one cousin said that grew up in the 1940-50 era...
My cousin said; "I too recall those hot days in July 1954 of 110+ degrees, the only time I remember Dad ever cut and baled the same hay on the same day".
Now My dad often said he remembers the corn turned white in 3 days. It was 115° all three days and windy which didn't help. He also said they poured water on the ground then threw down a blanket and tried to sleep outside.
I'm sure this won't be the only year like this one. When we cut down trees the rings always indicate 3-5 dry years in a row. Has any one else noticed this?
