So far the chances for rain have managed to skip right on over us leaving us high and dry. So dry that some of the trees that are more susceptible to lack of water are beginning to shed leaves. This isn’t good. This picture is taken by the side of a busy road, so between the heat of the days, the heat of the road and the lack of rain, a lot of the leaves are living a short, little life. We are definitely in need of rain with only small opportunities cropping up. So far, those opportunities have passed us by.
