We Need Rain

Freedomnchrist · 06-23-2008, 11:31 AM

Here I was thinking that we were on a turn for the better about a month ago. Now it seems as though God has shut the water faucet off.

I was so excited to think that we might have a better year this year.

Now everything has turned brown again.

We have none and Missouri has too much. I guess the only way to look at it is that I know for sure that my barn won't be underwater anytime soon.

Same thing down here too. Started looking like those afternoon thunderstorms were gonna become a regular thing and then....nothing...again. *sigh* We get just enough to jack up the humidity, nothing more. The grass is getting crunchy under foot.

I totally agree, loud noises and no rain

.

Thought we might get a shower or two last night.....but no luck.

Lord I hope hay doesn't get to $75.00 a bale again.

That is what we have had for the past 10 days.. and my lawn is starting to crunch again..

Day before yesterday we had a 20 minute downpour. It was the first rain we have had in over a month... It keeps going around us as well. My hayman has already had to start irrigating, not good since he hasn't put the first cutting of the year in the barn yet...I am sending up the rain prayers cause with this heat we are gonna burn up before summer gets going.

My grass crunches too.

Guess I'm going to have to break down and wash my husbands white truck!

Since we live down a dirt road, that usually does the trick. Maybe I'll water my shrubs and roses too. Any suggestions on a rain dance?

That sounds like an excellent idea

HorseLVR · 06-29-2008, 08:51 PM

We've been blessed with a substantial shower for the past 4 days in a row!!!

Gotta go gill the gas can now and cut some grass!

And my husband did wash the RED truck right before it rained.
