No of rain last week. No moisture registers on my 6" garden soil moisture meter.  Weeds are brown and dry. Juniper and Piñon trees are stressed, showing some brown in them. Cold season grass is dormant. Plenty of deer in the area. They seem to prefer our sumac (which we water occasionally) to our grass for grazing.  More Red Flag days than not. Thick smoke here several days from fires near the Colorado-Utah border, near Ouray, various locations in Utah. Air quality alerts in effect most the week. Kept our windows closed most days, limited our outdoor time, made more use of our heat pump to cool the house.
