We had hopes of rain today and received two sprinkles that could barely be called sprinkles lasting minutes and not enough to be seen on the ground; I don't think it has rained for more than a month and most of the farmers have pretty much lost out this year in our area. People's gardens pretty much gone unless they watered daily.
Fairly natural for this time of year, but when such a long period passes by, all of the crops on the hillsides die and I haven't seen such bad spots in the farmers fields this early in the season ever before.
