I got a chance to take a walk in the wetlands of the Fern Ridge Wildlife Area and found some of the ponds dried up after a month of hot weather. Most of the month of July temperatures were in the 90's. That's hot for us here. This is what those dried up ponds look like now.

We had a break for a few days with temperatures in the 80's, but are being warned that they are heading up into the mid 90's again. We can always look forward to September.
