AUGUST DROUGHT 2016

As I get ready to post, finally a welcomed deluge of rain hit our area yesterday.

Back to the original posting.

We have not have a significant rain since May.  This has left many areas of drought in our area. 

What never ceases to amaze me about the south is the Crepe Myrtle trees.  They survive in red clay and bloom magnificently with such a dry climate.  It's a miracle!


Thank goodness for the sprinkler system. We water about every other day and that has kept the flowers blooming.




And so for school starting up this week, I know--way too early, the summer heat continues but the flowers make it just a bit easier to handle.
