I’m not good with droughts.

Mostly yard work—weeding, trimming, watering, etc. But always going slow and trying to keep to the shade.

In photo one, above, tree tags and water bags at the Arboretum. Keeping all the new plantings hydrated must be a real chore. I appreciate those who are doing it.

In photo two, a bumper crop of serviceberries on the big bush alongside the south wall. Very tasty.
