I have that up on my computer. There was one fire in New Braunfels.
We're due for a little rain tomorrow! I've been watering this morning to keep the brug pots from cooking. We came back from the lake Sunday and our grass was crunchy. We watered before we left, but it doesn't take long to dry out, as we're on limestone rock with a thin layer of dirt on it. The grass just can't retain moisture. I've taken out at least a third of the grass in the front yard, and made beds of perennials. In backyard, there's two tiny grass strips, and all the rest is paths and beds and a huge rock patio. I don't know what else we can get rid of in front, and still have our yard resemble the other yards around us.
I'm really concerned about the oaks in our yard. I've never had to worry about them before. The bark is dropping off some of the limbs. Not sure if it's a sign of drought, or what?
Keeping my fingers crossed for rain.....
