Where has all the rain gone?

Since we installed the sod there has been very little rain.  We are up over 20% for the year.  Talk about bad timing.  Glad we have some sprinklers to cover part of the new sod.  I have to move a regular sprinkler onto the backyard every morning because it does not have a sprinkler system.  I put a drip hose in the new shrubs along the back fence.  Everything should be able to survive on their own by November.
