Got about 2 spots of rain, not enough to wet the paving.....the worst thing is watching the big trees stress from the heat and lack of water...no amount of watering by hand can give them the drink they need. The only thing we can do for the wildlife is keep the birdbaths topped up, spray water on the foliage and put low saucers down for the bigger reptiles. Roll on winter....I won't even whine when I have to barrow the wood up from the back of the block to keep the fires going.
