Cowboys and Cowgirls

[NovoMira]

We just got back from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Mariner... the contrast between that lovely green area and where I live was really painful. It even rained while we were there, BTW.

Anyway, as we drove home the further west we went the more obvious it became just how badly the drought has affected us. We saw crops plowed under, cotton barely six inches high (complete failure)....cattle grazing in the fields on dried out, brown vegetation...tanks were dry and the relentless sun bore down on us - mile after mile after mile...

It's truly a sad state of affairs.

What we're suffering from here is cabin fever on the scale of a North Dakotan winter.
