Well, maybe not as dry as this picture but it will be if we don't start getting more rain. Kentucky Lake is a few miles away from my home and this is the first year that I can ever remember that it had trouble coming up to summer pool. Today I checked and it was still 2 feet low.
Everyone has their gardens out except me. I believe this will be the driest year ever for this area and I know that I would have to water the garden daily so I'm not putting one out. I'm getting my pond level up will well water. My next electric bill has not come out yet and I hope that I don't have to take out a loan to pay for it.
This is the third dry year in a roll for this area. Hopefully it will be the last one for a while. I remember back in the 80s and 90s we had 3 day years in a roll with about 10 year in between. Last year it was so dry that the tree roots were damaged and the wind could get up and they would fall over. I've lost about 100 so far.
I pray for rain. I feel for the farmers who make a living growing crops. I stop and give thanks when I hear about someone getting rain in my county even though I don't get any. I heard someone say just today, "You know, I pray for rain!" and he did not come across to me as a praying man. Maybe God is trying to get our attention. Well, it is working.
