No grass for the horses, no crops for the farmers, so no repairs for my husband at the machine shop. We worry about having enough well water for drinking, watering the mares and doing laundry. We are building fence, and it is dry two feet down. Hard to get sand out of a dry hole! But it looks like a green oasis here compared to the area near Lamar. The sand has blown as high as the fences, and everything looks brown. Our wheat looks like a lawn- theirs looks spotty and burned. I am thankful for the moisture we have received!
