This picture was taken on July 3rd. This little rabbit was looking for something to munch on in our dried up back yard. Luckily he found the patch of green grass beneath our Yoshino Cherry tree. We had been watering our trees because it's been so dry lately. I'm glad he found something to eat!

Drought

One of the only green patches of grass in our yard this summer is under our willow tree because we've been watering it.

The other green patch is under our Yoshino cherry tree.

Our back yard is dead. Middle Tennessee is 7" below normal in rainfall this year. I thought we might get a little shower last night, but that rain was to the east of us.

My sunflower patch is wilted under the morning sun. At 10:34am, it's already 91 degrees!
