The signs are everywhere but it does not seem to be working. When you are about to say goodbye, the last thing everyone says to you is "Now be sure to pray for Rain". In a conversation with anyone in the Hill Country, the subject of rain is always discussed such as: when is it coming and if you had any rain and what is the forecast? The lack of rain is in everyones mind.
The ranch is parched. We had one inch of rain last Monday, which was the only measurable rain in five months. There is no green grass anywhere. Surprisingly, the cattle look good, because we have been feeding them hay. David gave them treats Saturday and Sunday which made them content but now we must buy more hay, unless it rains and the winter grass grows. Even the trees look dry.
Perhaps a rain dance would help, but I suspect that sooner or later, the rain will fall and drench the land and we will have flash floods. When that happens, we will be ready!! In the meantime, pray for rain.
