It’s so hot

For a couple of weeks the temperature in middle europe has been high. Peak values up to 34° Celsius during daytime, or locally even more, have become normal. My lawn is turning brown and the soil is hard as rock. I gave up on watering it, which I think is the correct decision considering the drought and not wasting valuable water resources. Only my vegetable garden is the exception to the rule. I keep them alive and, fortunately, I still have some water in my rainwater tank, which collects rainwater from the roof. But without some rain, this water reserve will be used up soon. I’m looking forward to Monday when the weather forecast promises rain. But a single day will not lead to an end of this drought, it’s only a drop in the ocean.
