Has been extremely windy and continues to be dry tho received a trace of rain.  There was a grass fire last Friday during the afternoon of Friday during the hours of 60 mi gusts causing a 3 mile burn thru standing corn (natural snow fence) jumped road into ditch and on down a grass waterway, jumping another road to continue until the fire department was finally able to put it out later early evening.  There were at least 6 departments involved along with farmers with equipment to help contain it.  The deer are out in groups again now that the temps are more moderate and see pheasants on occasion.
