I live in a rural area in south central Wisconsin, and the drought has been bad here. Luckily we have gotten some rain mostly in small amounts since mid August. Not enough, but every little bit helpsm and 1/10 of an inch, is better than none.
I am very involved in the agricultural community, so I understand what this drought means to my friends and neighbors.
My flowers seem to thrive with rain. When I water, it keeps them alive, but they don't "thrive".
And for the silver lining - no mosquitoes. And the noise level in the neighborhood is down, because all the neighbors aren't outside cutting their grass. I just spot cut, and only when it needs it - perhaps about 6 times since June.
If that
But I hope that this winter (not that I want to drive through mountains of snow) and next year, resolve this drought. ~Jan
