Here it's been hot and dry. The home we moved out of a year ago we put up for sale in January, and wanting to save on water we stopped watering, since no one was living there and it's been under contract for ages and we figured the new owners would take care of watering. Well, after this dry season, the lawn is brown, the large established shrubs have died, and even the trees of two decades are looking like they might not last until the next rainfall. Reminds me of the true fact that I live in the desert.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-33477483432261369742012-08-05T19:03:41.696+01:002012-08-05T19:03:41.696+01:00Many of you young ones won't remember the summ...Many of you young ones won't remember the summer of 1976. It started in May and finished in September and in between nary a bit of rain only high temperatures and blue skies every day. Lakes and rivers dried up. Pathetic corpses of fish lay rotting in mud. The green green grass of home was a yellowish brown. We were forbidden to wash our cars, (that didn't worry me but it sure as hell worried the husband) and we weren't allowed use the garden hose but worst of all, by far the worst of all was we were not supposed to have a bath. Only a shower. I'm a bath girl so as far as I'm concerned - a soggy summer isn't too bad as long as it stays warm.
