WE NEED LOTS OF RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firefighters are fighting over 210 brush fires in Florida. It is so dry here. They say this is the worst drought since 1932, if I remember correctly. There were ashes on the top of my car this morning that had blown in from the fires. The sky looks horrible. Please pray we get rain here!

We will be praying. I guess you are still "enjoying" the drought we have finally been released from. I must admit I feel better talking to the old timers, though, because you start to realize this kind of weather has occurred before and changed back to "normal". We couldn't believe the rain we had last year and the snow we had this year, but as soon as we talk to some old ranchers around here, they have stories to tell of years like this 20, 40, even 60 plus years ago. I feel better until I realize we'll probably have to go through something like this again in the future. yuck

We got a small amount of rain yesterday. It cleared the air a little here, but we sure need a lot more. I know what you mean. People freak out about things, but don't realize the weather has been going in cycles for forever.

As much as we hated and screamed at the snow this winter - deservedly so since we don't normally have 2 feet for 2 months - the grass is greening up in the pastures and looks BEAUTIFUL. So, right now, I am praising that crazy weather from the winter.

Are we going to see any pictures of this NM beauty on your blog, Cathy?

Yes,Cathy, that would be lovely to see. The skies were much clearer today and we couldn't smell smoke in the air. That was nice!
