    Already getting hot out there! Be sure and use water efficiently, water your gardens (or lawns)  in the early morning or late evening to help reduce evaporation.

    I am grateful for these beautiful sunshine filled days, although I do miss the rain for the garden. Hoping for a sprinkle tonight so I don't have to water...
