Eric mentioned in another thread he would like to see the "Earth Opening Up". I said the cracks were big enough to loose a kid in them but it's not quite that bad!
The liquid gas company came out a month ago and staked out their right-a-way so I took advantage of a stake.
As you can see the stake is 3 feet long or so.
Here I place it into one of the cracks!
The grass and trees are suffering to a point that they may not come back.
One has died already
Here I noticed this bright orange litter at the base of five of my pines.
I first thought I had Pine Beetles but on closer examination it turns out to be crystalized sap "bleeding" from the trees. As you can see it forming on the bark then crumbles off. I would say the inner lining of the tree that keeps the moisture inside has dried to a point of splitting open and the trees are drying out.
Even the squirrels are getting down to their last pine cones!
here is the pine cone litter they are leaving for me to clean up.
Others things going on; lakes drying up and the streets have huge cracks running through them and the really bad part for me, I need foundation work now!
