Seems like so many places are dry dry dry. We were coming home from work yesterday and there was a huge smoke cloud towards our house. A deputy passed us; turned out it was a farmer burning a rice field in an old fish pond. The levees were disked up, so I think he was legal for the burn ban. It was a scary sight until I knew what it was though. |

My pastures are soooo dry, I worry about fires out here, I have a pasture in the front and back of my house that meet my front yard and back yard, we keep it mowed really short around our house, the grass crunches when you walk on it.  |

Our grass crunches too and dead as a door knob. And Lord you could lose a dog in some of the cracks we have. We have our first real chance of real rain this weekend (since June). I can't remember when we were this dry for this long before |

Yea, I hear ya. We have cracks all over. No wonder though, after a couple of months without any rain of significance... But it looks like we will be getting some over the weekend.
I just scares me to see people still flicking burning sigaret butts out of vehicles.... I see it happen at least 2-3 times a week.... SMH.... |

I hope and pray for that rain that they say we will be getting at the end of the week, we need it so so very bad, the last few big rain chance's that we thought we were getting turned out to be a dud, I was so upset |

Been watering my yard for a few days now trying to green it up some, hope to stop it from catching fire if a fire does break out, my pastures are soooo darn dry and my house sits in the middle of my two pastures up front.. Hope that rain will reach us, and prayers that you get it too. I know we all need it bad |
