Odd$ and End$ | Snapshot | 7/22/11

I'm starting up my weekly Odd$ and End$ recap again. This is where I round up the posts that inspired me over the last week. I let it go because of time constraints, but realized that I wasn't promoting the many awesome writers that are out there. I'm also going to add a photo that best reflects my week. I hope you enjoy!

SNAPSHOT

After record rainfall this past spring, we are now in the middle of a very hot and humid dry spell. I am spending my evenings watering my gardens and frantically trying to revive this scorched, tender young plant. I hope it's not too late for it, I just planted it in May. How dry is it where you live?
