Still hasn't rained much at all and the pond has gone down about 2 feet. However, we get a little bit of morning drizzle and it's enough to keep the water storage barrels full. Thank God, it's a lot more work to use them now that we are spoiled by having a hose and the well but we try to recycle water as best we can. I was dreading coming upstate thinking that a lot of plants would be dead but the heat actually forced a lot of flowers into bloom and nothing died. We even have cattails on the pond this year which is new. The other hollyhocks bloomed and the color is terrific. Our Shasta daisies are massive and we will have to start splitting and moving a lot of them this fall. Same with the bee balm which loves being near the pond but the plant is huge and taking over the bed it is in and we will have to transfer it as well.
