drought

Hey everybody! It is 96 degrees in Maryland. It is hot. The drought has caused the leaves to turn brown. It is like fall during the end of summer. My lawn is brown and the creek is dry. We've had a little rain but not enough.

I've raised the thought elsewhere that the terminology used at the moment about the global climate change that is affecting our world should be renamed as "Global Drought" because I fear that governments and people do not understand the dire ramefications of the climate issues.

I keep reading of drought or water shortages in the UK, Africa, India, and in some parts of the US. I also hear that some people living in very cold climates look forward to global warming.

The way you light up your home can change entirely the way it looks and can create a completely different setting to reflect the aura of mystique or sophistication you might want on occasion. Sound expensive? It needn’t be- all you need is a new lamp or two not only to just light up your room, but to add a bit of razzmatazz and a dash of glamour to your home. The bad old days when lamps were just lamps used only to dispel darkness at nightfall have long since been banished.

I am really worried. It has been so hot here in North Texas that everything is burning up. Our animals are in danger and we can't put enough water on the yard. We are in extreme need of rain. We were visiting with a farmer this evening who is "retiring". I never knew a farmer who retired without being forced...thus we made the assumption that this dry growing season was the straw the broke the camel's back ...or should I say the farmer's back. He was saying that they had cried a few tears but that he was so grateful that he was not having to worry about this drought any more. Those of you who have never farmed or ranched may not understand. It feels like we are under the wrathful hand of God. Death is looming. Tribulation has begun. Of course you try to reason that it is just el Nino or Nina, but it really does feel like you are under a curse. Farmers relate rain to God's blessing so I guess it follows that drought would be God's curse.
