Two years, ago our rain barrels were all dried up at the end of May. That is unusual for Missouri. That’s when we decided to buy a pool at the end of the season sales.
The pool and the rain barrels are overflowing, but we’ll likely need it for the dry months - usually July and August.
I am sorry for all the flooding and problems in Texas, but I am glad that there is some relief for the long long drought they have had. I echo your prayer.
I live on a 100 acre lake and have a pump to provide an endless supply of water. Right now the 100' piece of land to the lake is a swamp with grass a couple of feet tall. I need to be able to get a mower into that area. OK my problems aren't that great but America's poor are really not that poor compared to other countries. We only whine about our situation compared to our neighbors(who by the way has a much better soil composition).
