Hi,

I agree, those hot dry winds were brutal for the past week here in MI. I found myself watering many things twice a day or they would start to wilt, and it only took one day of no water to get some things looking crispy.

Hopefully you will get more rain later. We had close to an inch of rain today and it is really soaking in well.

Good luck with the sprinkler system!

Well, it poured here in Troy this afternoon for a while, like 20 minutes. It helps.

But, in watching the NWS radar, it doesn't look like I got nearly as much at home out in the Bloomfields. Alas, I'm always among the last to get rain.

It's going to be cool Saturday. Much of the garden is going bye bye for the year. I'm sick of it, too, and it looks bad between the heat, drought, and the deer and woodchuck that have rendered a lot of things like sunflowers and amaranth into leafless sticks.

I'm out in the Bloomfields - it was a decent rain, as far as quick showers go. We need a couple days of gentle, soaking, all-day rain, though...

So, you're in Troy - probably at Telly's a lot, eh? :0)
