Sunshine on my mind

No rain predicted for at least another week.  The 60% chance of rain turned into about a 2 minute shower at dusk.  It's depressing to see months of hard work wilt under the relentless dry weather.  I keep planting and watering seedlings and transplants, but at a certain point, there is not enough water to bring the crop to fruition without rainfall.  I have seen dry weather on the NCR before, but never for this long.  Even the farmers with the ability to irrigate are finding it difficult to finish their lettuce crops.  Tipburn and puffy lettuce will be with us until it rains.  Meanwhile, the vast majority suffer with each new sunny day.  But not to worry, it will probably rain every day in October and November so we can make our average for the year.
