Which One Waters Their Lawn?

These two lawns are side by side and they show what it's been like around here all month. Those that have been watering their lawns have a somewhat green lawn and the rest of us have what looks like straw! Our average temperature for the month so far has been 85.5F (~29.7C) with three days above 90F so far and we could reach 100F on Thursday. Rainfall total this month is 0.37 inches (~0.9cm) with none in sight in the near future. I'm getting the feeling of what it's like living in the South and I know I could never survive in the South with temperatures like this all the time. Have I mentioned how much I dislike Summer?

Terrific contrast. Mine still looks like the one on the right although would love to have the left side. Well captured.

Been that way around here for two months...no rain at all and temps 90's and then 100+ for almost a month. Sucks!!!

I am not a fan of heat either. The only thing I find valuable about it is that the lawn goes dormant and doesn't need cutting.

It does become quite evident in this heat!

Yes, we could do a swap here too. So many cool days of rain and grey skies, not at all like summer. But I'm sure I'd tire of those high temperatures too.

Too bad we can't blend our weather patterns.Out here in the Canadian prairies of Alberta we have had rain 21 out of the last 30 days....and no day over 75F.No need to water our lawns or flowers.We are sick of our cool weather and incessant rain.....oh...and did I mention mosquitoes....billions of the lil bastards!So ya...I'll trade ya for a few weeks.
Oh ya...so which lawn is yours?...lol.

Terrific image! Hope it cools off for you.

You and Maralee both! I'm getting there as the heat effects me more these days more than it used to so.... We don't water anything but the containers and a few special plants, and the bird bath of course! Good idea for these hot times Patti!
