Weather Woes

Wisconsin (like much of the country) continues to have weather woes - hot temperatures and no rain.  We keep wondering when it will end.  Is relief in sight soon?  Our lawn is dry, crunchy and yellow.  Trees are losing their leaves.  Watering is limited to potted plants (and some trees) at this time.  Viewing photos of my flowers from earlier in the summer offers some respite.  Hoping for better days soon.
