Back in moderate drought, but with some very helpful slow, gentle rain the past few days - not a drought buster, but what fell came softly enough to soak in and not run off, and has saved some plants whose survival was otherwise questionable.

Looking at the big cracks in my yard and really, really understanding how much more clay-ee the soil is here. Also contemplating the full effect of all the trees in terms of moisture.   Got some pretty extensive cost/benefit analysis to research and think through in addition to site analysis.
