Canada

I'm in Alberta and seeing all the indications of it being really dry does give this ever-present uneasy feeling. The gravel roads are extra dusty, the quack grass in yellowing, fields have white salt deposit spots from where the last bits of pond water had evaporated.

We've got a well-oiled watering routine going for our trees, but if this is "the new normal" it feels a bit futile - soon enough the water table will drop below our well pump. So, there is a feeling of only delaying the inevitable.
