RE: Extreme Heat!

Oh, Pam!  I am so sorry.  I wish I could send you the rain they are
predicting for us tomorrow!  (It is supposed to break our current heat
wave.)

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

We had a water main break tonight which reduced our water pressure to a
trickle.  With the black gumbo clay soil, it shifts so much in drought
conditions, it tears the underground pipes up. Took 30 mins. to fill the
tub, which I had to do before they started the repair and cut the water off
completely.  Just what we needed w/ 100+ temps, now in our 18th month of
drought and no rain in sight for the foreseeable future.  Lovely.  Just
lovely.
