Utah went from a super-warm and dry winter to the wettest May in recorded history. But then summer hit.
Boom!
Hot and dry.
But, as I noticed driving about to run errands a couple of days ago, a lot more people have been following the local water guidelines than in past summers. All around, the grass is greenish-brown, as people water just enough to keep the grass from dying completely. I even passed a cemetery that was far less than lush. And that's good.
Brown is in in SLC.
It's funny I was beginning to think brown was the new green for us early this spring. (Winter was just too stubborn to actually leave, for good.) Then the rains fell, and fell and fell a lot more. Yep, the green, green grass of lawn mowers dreams are here again!
