It keeps getting drier.  We have had a few clouds and rain in the area but none anywhere near or at this location.  It makes no sense to water outside plants as in a few hours you are back to where you started from.  Lawns are crunching underfoot and brown. Plants are dying.  Almost the entire State is finally under a burn ban and Level 2 water restrictions.  Society is very aware of it.  Wildfires are erupting almost just by looking at the grass.
