The drought has been really harsh, on plants, animals and people alike.
You know the strange thing is that peoples morale tends to dissipate in the absence of water - there is a direct correlation to water and mental state, and I saw that very clearly these past few years. I understand that water is life, but it seems to run a bit deeper than that.

I am so happy to hear that some of your veg were able to make it through, and I know that you will have your garden back up and running in no-time. You are great like that <3
