Can I relate to them wanting their trees, shrubs, garden to stay alive? Yes. It took me 10 years to get my lawn to where it was. It makes me sad to see my apple tree dying. I have shown pics of my yard before. It hurts to see it the way it is now. I still have my little garden, but it is only 1/4th size now and the water is from our showers...soon to be from our laundry water. Yes, I can relate to see all that I lovingly planted..die. BUT..it also hurts to see wild animals dying from lack of water as well. I am doing my part. Those abusing the water we have now should be ashamed but most are not.
I took these pics a few days ago, meaning to share, but never got around to it. Now I will. I dug up every plant I could, put it in a pot, stuck it under the big tree for shade. The rest is in my tiny section I keep alive the best I can.
