It's getting scary down here for sure. Couple of days ago, I looked up as I was walking out of the studio. Smoke as far as I could see. We grabbed the truck to investigate and called the Sheriff's office. The thick smoke in the valley was coming down from four fires west and northwest of Fort Worth on heavy gusty winds.
With the water table lower than we've ever seen it, the well water literally stinks. At least, for the time being we have enough for the livestock. No one even smokes a cigarette on our land. The bluebonnets didn't make it this year. Hay will cost a fortune this summer, because the pastures are nothing but dry. We inspect our mama cows every day, and water the garden twice a day by hand to conserve water. Worst year we've ever had....please pray for quiet gentle rain, and lots of it.
