Living in the desert already we are used to drought. I don't think this
year has been unusual in terms of weather for us. The last couple weeks
have been a little different in that we've had some rain - maybe a
couple tenths at my house - but all in all, life as usual. We might have
had a few more days than usual where it hit 110+, but nothing really out
of the ordinary. 
However we are hearing more about a La Nina event so we are worried
about a dry winter. We get less than 10 inches a year normally but it
really makes a difference.

It's really awful here.  My yard has just dried up.  Our water rates,
which 
were high to begin with, have gone up again, but I guess I can be
grateful 
I'm not on a well.  I'm at leat glad most of my plants are old-fashioned

reseeding.  Spring will come again, and I'll try to be more on top of
things 
next year.  :o)  Seems like I say that every fall...
