Severe Drought Conditions

Category: Other Stuff | Posted: Fri Jun 16, 2006 3:58 am

We are in a severe drought in Louisiana. Cities and towns are warning people about over using water. A lot of places are having trouble keeping up with the water usage. I am not watering my lawn, but I am watering my flower beds and pots. The grass looks really good around the beds where the excess water hits, but elsewhere it is dying. We are not on town water, we have our on well, which makes us luckier than most people I guess. The only problem will be if our underground water supply would dry up. I have never known it to be this bad.

All of Arizona is under extreme drought conditions. Even if we have rain it dries as soon as it hits the ground, if it even hits the ground. So, far they haven't told us not to water, but I only water plants, not grass. Maybe, it's why I can't keep the little plants alive. I know it's why all the bugs are eating the plants. It's for the water content. Dooley

That drought is a bummer. At least your flowers and beds will survive Sharon. I really hope you get rain soon.

Oh yeah and congrats on your new blog ;)
