Draught in the Midwest

How scary this is.  We have not received rain since I can remember, the grass is mostly brown and scorched and even the Japanese Beetles find the weather too oppressing to chow down their usual delights.   The earth is being cooked.  Ed is watering the gardens very minimally as well as parts of the lawn.  To conserve water, however,  Ed positions the sprinkler at night and we turn it on around 3 am when one of us takes a bathroom break.  It bums me out to see people watering during the heat of the day - pure stupidity.  I should add, the prairie garden does well without moisture, quite miraculous.
