The rain barrels have both been empty for weeks. The lawns are parched, too many trees look droopy. Even the ever-fresh daisies are looking tired.
Water restrictions are in place, though luckily still only at Phase One locally.
Naturally, we're not supposed to waste water by washing cars (hardly an essential demand). Fortunately, we are still permitted to hand-water our vegie gardens.
Tomorrow will be Day 41, the day we'll tie the longest dry spell experienced here. As for the rest of the province, the forecast -- especially with raging wildfires -- is not looking good.
Biblical? Nearly.
Crossing fingers on behalf of the plants, especially the trees, that they'll soon be able to get un-parched.

This year I am convinced that capitalism alone will destroy this planet and an open intelligent socialism is needed to help farmers, workers and teachers survive. We are at risk of falling under the billionaire funded hate movements and a brutal fascism. We need to see the current system as profiting on contempt for life.
