Today is Aug. 15, and still no rain. Our fields and pastures are in worse shape than I can ever remember. The only green plants left are some kochia plants, and whatever we water around our homes. Our trees are losing their leaves--they are drying up and falling off. We are digging 6 feet deep for a pipeline and there is no moisture. There have been many fires in the county. Many in the north part. One well in particular seems to be slowing down on production. Dams are dry.
