Sécheresse

What is this?  This is the effect the sécheresse has had on the grass in my garden.  It's dead and looks like straw.  Poor little Rasteau is hating not having nice, green, comfy grass to roll in and to eat.  Plus he is tracking in dead, brown grass that ends up all over my apartment.

Luckily the drought seems to be ending since we've had storms the past two nights.  While I have been enjoying the nice, sunny weather, I know my garden (and the French farmers) desperately need some rain, so at least it's been coming at night!
