The only thing that makes it work at all is the underground water table is very high - about 15 feet - so established trees do fine, and anyone can have a well to water grass and gardens. Some of the well water is too bad for livestock, but most will do for that. Something about a good soaking rain.

We watered the garden...a lot. Farmers had their irrigation systems running 24/7. Then we did have an area-wide rain storm and someone from our church talked about man's feeble attempts to keep things alive and then God sends the rain and within an hour billions and billions of gallons of water are spread upon the land. What a mighty God we serve! It was my little reminder of the blessings of rain and I haven't forgotten it. Since then, people have complained of times when we have gotten more rain and the hassle of it. I always say, "But remember when...?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-26553837079576376102008-11-20T06:28:00.000-08:002008-11-20T06:28:00.000-08:00People have forgotten to be grateful for what they...<I>People have forgotten to be grateful for what they have been given</I><BR/><BR/>I've been guilty of that lately, with respect to a few things.. short tempered and snappy because things aren't ready to move, etc -- good time to read this.

Sis stayed home as Mum was throwing up and I couldn't have coped on my own. Turns out, Mum has a chest infection. <BR/><BR/>Whats GoDaddy got to do with blogger?kimbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006090158222860501noreply@blogger.com
