I am so friggin' tired of lugging water out to them, we only planted them two years ago and they were already showing signs of hurting by the beginning of August. Now, they look fried, only just a few live leaves left on them.

Every one of the cedars in the woods behind us are sagging, with major brown boughs just hanging, waiting to fall with the wind. Everywhere I go, I notice the brown on the cedars.

It is pouring up here right now, has been all evening! Yippee!
