More disappointing news
#1
DH just got off the phone with family members in Texas. We are having a very wet season here in TN. They are in the middle of a terrible drought. Cousin in Marshall, TX said they just had to plow under 10,000 acres of cotton this week and that they weren't the only ones doing so. Unlike those with poor corn crops the cotton can't even be used for animal feed. Just another blow to the already poor economy. From a quilting standpoint, looks like those quilting fabrics are going to do nothing but continue to increase in price. Ann in TN

We will be happy to take any rain you want to send us! About 4 days of steady drippy rain is what we need to loosen the ground before we get a very heavy rain. I am so sorry your family is so impacted by this.

It is so hot and dry in our part of central Texas that even the weeds have quit growing in our yard. No mowing, no weedeating, soon no more shrubs if we don't water. Everything is going dormant in our yard- and we are staying inside in the AC. How do you cope with the rising prices? We only drive the car to go to church or the doctor. Run the other errands when we do these. Makes for some strange menus.
