Dry

May is my favorite month for many reasons, including the fact that it usually has abundant rain creating lush landscapes before the onset of the summer heat. As a lawn owner I appreciate this even if it means more mowing. But this year, I’ve noticed numerous lawn sprinklers appearing already. My own yard is already showing the kind of stress it doesn’t normally until July. It’s been unbelievably dry this month. Here’s hoping for a wet June. If not, and we go into official drought, someone is going to “seriously” propose Hunter lake again.
