Thanks for trying Janet! We need heavy rain for days and days. Surely it will rain one of these days. Everybody is hoping for a hurricane to hit the coast in an unpopulated area.. Terrible to hope for, but we're getting desperate

Haven't heard much on the news about the fires, are they dying out yet?

They are popping up around here every day. It's really disturbing. You wouldn't believe how dry it is here!

I saw pictures of that fire, Sandy. Big smoke and very scary looking.
Betsi, I know what you mean - it is so dry - I've never seen it this dry, ever. We have a 10-20% chance of rain the next few days, I sure hope we get some. Just a little bit would help.

There was a lot of fires throughout the state today. So scary.
I have a little 3' x 3' patch of pretty green grass in my front yard ... Unfortunately it's by the water meter, meaning I probably have a leak.

Yep Sandy, you do have a little leak there, that's the only way grass would be green right now! Everything else that hasn't been watered is so terribly dry. I'm afraid some of the St. Augustine grass that hasn't been watered won't come back (if it ever rains again). They have been talking about that here in Austin. St. Augustine that hasn't been watered may have to be replaced. Not that replacing it would be a bad thing, it wouldn't be bad because it is a very thirsty grass and it would be better to have something that required less water, for sure. But the expense of replacing it is what will really hurt (I'm talking all over town). I've kept mine alive this summer with lots of water, but I hate wasting water on the lawn.
