Default Curious to see the effects.

Around our house all the leaves on the oaks and maples are dying and falling off the trees.
No changing color just dying from lack of water.
It is great to have this nice weather but the lack of rain could hold consequences down the road. Our well pump had to be turned off to let it recover as it ran the well dry due to the water table being so low. This has never happened before.
I like summer as much as I like winter but this has been ridiculous with all the heat and humidity. When I had an 8-4 job inside I used to love the heat and wish I could work outside during the summer and inside in the winter. Now that I have that as a painting contractor I do not like the heat as much as I did before. It grows old real quick.
Great for all the vacationers but not good for the effects on the environment.
It will be interesting to see what the lack of rain does to the foliage.
