Thank you, Meg; love the doggies in the bluebonnets!

About the wildfires in Texas - my husband said this morning that he heard on the news that Texas is having the worst drought since 1917! We have had grass fires in the fields and area around us for a few weeks now. Fortunately, though one time we could actually see the flames, the wind was blowing the fire in a direction away from us.

We have wind, wind, wind and high temperatures and single digit humidity. No rain in 8 months. :(

Thank you!
We were blessed with half inch of rain this month...It helped..but not nearly what we need.
I am so glad you escaped being damaged...Pray you continue to avoid the flames at your place.

The winds really blow here, too..We have a severe thunderstorm watch but the radar shows that line just missing us..I am just grateful some are getting rain!

I am so glad that the winds...even though they drive us
nuts...have been in your favor at this time. Just watching
the big plume of smoke from the Andrews fire last night was
chilling. Glad they got it put out. The first responders must
be worn out from all these huge area fires.

It Started Sprinkling while I was Mowing the Lawn this Evening, so I began to have Hope that it would Rain, but it Passed us by. :(
We Live on a Gravel Road, and a Lot of Dirt is in the Air from the Cars that Go by.
I Hope it Rains Soon!

Prayers for Everyone Affected by the Wildfires.
