and there was a large flock of Canada Geese there, too.
Wasn't there heavy rain in the SW within the last 3 weeks? Be grateful for the nice weather and turn the sprinklers on. That's the trouble with places that usually get their rain frequently: they don't make much provision for brief interruptions in service.
