I'm in NW Montana.

My animals are getting sick because of the smoke from wildfires.

Everything is dry. We've had no appreciable rain in at least 37 days according to the weather forecasters.

Would somebody just send us some rain? :(

I will, how do I package it? I know if it fits it ships..... How much rain can fit in a extra jumbo package? Oh and do you mind if its snow instead of rain...

:hugs :hugs hoping for some better days for you!

Hope things get better for you and the livestock soon. We know drought and wildfires down here and feel your pain. Prayers for you and those others that are experiencing these difficulties at this time.

I guess we are lucky we don't have the smoke to contend with.
We are in a dry pocket in southern MN (made severe drought status) still. We've had less than an inch of rain since June, and no measurable rain in August or September. We normally are GREEN here.
Best wishes to you with the smoke with yourself and stock. :hugs

I sure hope you get some rain or snow soon! The fires aren't coming your way are they? That must really be tough. I can't even imagine trying to deal with that when there is nothing you can do about it.

We had to deal with that for a few months this Summer with lots of wildfires and no rain. We get a lot of haze and smoke in the air from the Montana fires right now too. For some strange reason we have been getting tons of rain this week which is SO NICE!!!!!! Hopefully a nice Southerly wind will blow these clouds your way and you can have some rain or snow. :fl

I am in Idaho and we are in the same situation. Pray for rain! I think they are finally starting to get some of ours under control only about 500,000 acres late though. Getting tired of unhealthy air quality all the time.

Luckily the fires haven't been near us this year. :fl I'm hoping it stays that way! But the fires from the Mustang Complex and the Sawtooth fires shoot right up the mountains from the Bitterroot to our south and make it pretty intolerable. Still, it's better than having to evacuate. I've been through enough fires in my life including several standby evacuation and one for real evacuation that I know it can get really hairy fast.

Still no rain. :barnie

We MAY get rain sometime mid next week -- the forecasts suggest it. Let's hope! :fl
