Unfortunately we didn't get under a solid storm this week - only 0.10". Many lawns are looking stressed/dry. Having to water the garden and flowers pots frequently. Coneflowers have welted over the last few afternoons. Japanese lilac trees are blooming, potentillas are full of flowers, and penstemons are about to open up. AC units are in, this is about a week earlier than usual. Just 0.28" in the last 2 weeks... with a hot, breezy, and dry week ahead.
