#drought

Today I had to clear my land from long grass because of fires. Animals are lost. It was a haven for them. I understand that it’s important but for three years butterflies, bees, birds, foxes and deers found haven on my land and now it’s empty of life. A desert. And I’m waiting for the rain. Aren’t we all? I remember when I was little reading science fiction about a world like ours. I was so afraid. Now I’m beyond afraid. Paralyzed would be the word. But there is still hope. Don’t you think?

My entire state is covered in a thick haze of smoke because half of us are on fire but it’s okay guys it’s really important that I, an asthmatic, go into work to WATER, IN A DROUGHT, because some plants need to be extra lush for some fancy wedding!

If you want to know how dry it's been this summer in southern Colorado, I just got my first mosquito bite this summer. And only because we had the front door standing open while we carried stuff in.

Went out to the Eckville Flower Fields today but was disappointed. They’re in severe drought (the 3rd year) out there and the plants were stunted and hardly blooming. Only saw one butterfly.
