Goats hate the rain. My sheep, horses and geese will stand out in the middle of the pasture soaking wet (as long as it's not windy) - but one drop, and the fainting goats are in their barns or shelters.
This is our first rain in a month. The long term drought indicator puts us in D2, our area rain total for 2007 according to NOA is 22.87 inches, which is 9.22 inches low for the year.
Observations are dry stream beds, dry pond, lots of dust and thirsty critters! We are watering everyone now out of the wells, instead of using the normally generous natural springs that run through the property.
