My town hadn't had any rain in over a month and a half, and little
rain in the months before that, so we have drought conditions here.


We've been in a drought for about four years now. At this point, Lake
Mead has lost over 40' of water, and that's a lot of water! Our couple
of weeks of temps over 110? with no relief has turned the plants/lawns
in most people's yards to an ugly brown. We keep hoping for rain....
