How Dry Is It...

I was trying to do some work in my garden

yesterday, but I felt like I was in the "dust bowl" of the 1930's!

I was stirring up so much dust I must have looked like the cartoon

character Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoon strip. 

Thought I would share a picture or two.

This is what  my garden and yard looked like last year...

Green!!!!

This is what my garden and yard look like this year...

Brown and it crunches when you walk outside... yuck!!!

I have had to water the garden, but it isn't doing real well.

I have gotten some peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

The corn is a total loss.  Still holding out hope for the potatoes and grapes:) 

We even have cracks opening up in the yard...
The little bit of green plant growth...WEEDS!!!!

And the ground is rock hard.

100+ degree temps, I feel like I am living in Arizona.

I am not a winter girl usually,

but I am looking forward to winter coming

this year...cooler temps and some rain & snow, I hope.

We sure do need it. 

Hugs & Blessings,

Terry
