Everything is suffering. We are watering what we can and leaving water out for the animals that live in our yard: chipmunks, squirrels, birds--and I'm sure even the insects are glad to find a little water. I have a plastic dish that is supposed to go under a flower pot filled with water--kind of like a bird bath only on the ground. And a regular bird bath on the other side of the house.
