June precip was 2.67 inches, with last precip on June 20. That's over two weeks with daily highs in the 97-102 range. My soil and very dry and cracked, except where I've watered it recently. Most plants are okay, except for heat stress on some. My wife and I do water our beds and pots daily and lawn 1-2 days a week now. Hard to water a full lawn however. Birds and wildlife have feeders and water so they're okay. Area lakes are still declining as over half are now below full by inches to 4.10 feet for the lowest. Overall, the lakes have been far lower in many past summers.
