Well folks today here in Pecos. Tx.was our 44th straight day of over 100 up to 117. We had 21 days straight over 100 then 3-4 days in the nineties and then the heat started again. We did get a light sprinkle last week giving us a total for the year of 2/100's yes that's right this is the amount for the year. So the drought has definitely hit us here in West Texas. Lots of places around are rationing water. Most of those places get their water from lakes, we have been lucky here so far we have some deep water wells for our city water.
We have been praying for rain to help with the heat and also to replenish our ever needed water supply. So many of the ranchers have had to sell their cattle, because they can't feed them and they have run out of water to water the cattle. Cotton crop has gone to pot too.
