oof, that's hard, the water stresses. i think especially so when you're not used to it and don't have systems set up to deal with it, like drip irrigation for gardens and acess to subsurface water in general.

it is raining again here, another 3 days of overcast and drizzle. we must have your rain; it's very unusual weather for this time of year, which is normally brilliant blue skies and 70*F days.
