Head's up, the dry is on

Many areas in the U.S. are already experiencing drought heading into summer, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. However, dry conditions and drought are not exactly the same thing: A dry summer forecast points to below-normal rainfall ahead, while drought reflects longer-term shortages in soil moisture, rainfall, and groundwater as well as streams and reservoirs.

After several dry summers, some homeowners are starting to experiment with smaller lawn areas, native grasses, pollinator-friendly plantings, and meadow-style landscaping that require less irrigation overall.

For example, in parts of Colorado and the Plains, some homeowners are replacing small sections of traditional turf with drought-tolerant buffalo grass. See what YOU can do to save water and prepare for a dry season ahead at Almanac.com/gardening-in-a-dry-summer

Friday Find: The Friend of the Family by Dean Koontz -- an adopted child, a dark past, a future filled with dread

"I woke in a cold sweat, with a sense that Death himself had entered the room. I didn't cry out, because I'd fallen asleep with the lamp on and could see that all was as it had been and should be. Some psychologists say that the more naive your life is, the more frightening your dreams will be..."

Come on in
Sit a while
Do nothing
Really...

In 1965, the earliest large-scale time-diary study ever conducted found that the average American between the ages of 25 and 35 spent the equivalent of nearly an hour each day doing nothing in particular — not reading, not socialising, not listening to anything, not working.
