I've been away for awhile, returned home a few days ago from a trip. I've finally caught up with new postings.
I think I'm living through the Dust Bowl of the 1930s; my yard is looking like some of the Texas Photos Betty posted. I have not cut my grass in five weeks! The yard is simply too large to try to water so I just let it go dormant. I'm attempting to keep enough water on flower beds and edge plantings to keep them alive.
Most of the trees still look pretty good but they are stressed and starting to drop leaves as if it was fall. The apples stopped growing about six weeks ago -- look at the size of the leaves in relation to the apple to visualize how small they are.
Oh well, it could be worse.
