| 100 year flood in Cedar City, Utah August 18,2021 |
In summer we had a few 100 year rains that flooded the town and surrounding farm fields. The waters breached the irrigation ditches as culverts and drains blocked with boulders and debris diverted the water away from its normal destination. Tons of mud, clay and silts covered the home properties and farm fields with a foot of clay, mud and silt. All that rain soaked deep into the ground and the trees and plants drank it up.

| Early Autumn Snow on Little Utah Farm |
An early autumn snow hit in the first week of October and left us 10" of snow. The leaves hadn't even begun to turn color yet . The snow was heavy on the branches lush with green leaves and bowed down to the ground. We got some long poles and tapped the branches on all our trees to release the snow.

We could hear branches snapping and cracking all around the area. It snowed all day but the temperatures rose so the snow began to soften and fall from the roof and high branches.

It took only 2 days for the snow to recede uncovering rich green grass and green canopy of leaves.
The weather warmed in the weeks ahead and we have been enjoying the sunshine and spending time outdoors.
Thank you for visiting Little Utah Farm
