Man! It sounds very much like what we suffer here in the desert. Hope you get that rain SOON! We’re used to it and our natural vegetation is adapted, but yours needs LOTS of rain! It must look very sad.
It does look pretty sad around here. It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a dry summer but it happens every once in a while.
I hope something happens soon to give us several soaking rains. If not, when the leaves do start turning and dropping late next month, it’s going to be a tinderbox. It’s already close.
