The little sprinkling of rain yesterday was welcome to the maple in the yard (above), but it was just a drop in the bucket, not enough to do any good. Local drought news stories:
Citing historic drought, the director of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has declared a level four drought response across the northern third of Georgia, which prohibits most types of outdoor residential water use effective immediately.
All comfort stations in Black Rock Mountain State Park campgrounds are closed due to extreme drought conditions. Portable commodes will be in place, however there will be no showers and no water available on individual campsites.
But not to worry, Buddy's new job will start grading next week, guaranteed to bring on the rain!
