It is now official. My area is no longer considered to be one of "moderate drought" and has now been upgraded by the U.S. Drought monitor to the label of "severe drought." What does this mean? It means "Crop or pasture losses likely; fire risk very high; water shortages common; water restrictions imposed." Fun. But on a more positive note, the weather has cooled off to the point that the windows can be opened and the air conditioning turned off and there is a slight possibility of storms tonight. Also, the grass has not required mowing for some weeks now. Maybe if I try another rain dance...just kidding!
EDIT: "Nearly all of Illinois declared drought disaster" <= yeah. happiness.
