Moderate Drought

Pink, certainly not a winter color, but this photo has rain drops in it. That’s what I’m after. Priceless raindrops. After the past many months we have been through drought conditions. Slowly, very slowly, we are making progress.

Over the past several months we have gone from “moderate drought” to “severe drought”. Hanging out in that category for way longer than has been comfortable, as plants and trees seemed to beg for water.

We’ve only been out of the “severe drought” catagory for a couple weeks. I’m hoping this trend continues, and even progresses beyond that over the next few weeks. Slow is good.
