Just thought I would share some pics of what we are like here as far as moisture. We are in the Red Deer area and it is desperate for moisture. As you all know Alberta suffered the worst drought in 50 years last summer and our area is now going to be declared a disaster area if we do not get any rain or snow soon. We have not have any real moisture since the beginning of Feb. All the rain and snow the last month has gone around us. This area is usually known for lush rich soil.. :roll:
The reason for such distress is that we in only have a 3-4 month growing season at best .
This should be full of water all the way to the trees. BTW that is an abandoned acreage that I wish would implode as it is a big eye sore..
The pasture and hopefully reseeded hay field
some of the surrounding area
The heifer area, it is usually covered in snow now.
Hubby and Nikki(my little cow girl) after doing some fencing in our driveway ,that is usually a big mud hole this time of year.
