Still wishing for rain for you.

I love Thomas Hart Benton's art. I have a beautiful print of his somewhere--I think hanging at Rachel's house.

Still praying Gail. Here in Louisiana where we are now we've had lots of rain the last couple of days. Wish I could send some of it home! blessings, marlene

I see it too...
We are finally getting some rain here though, so just maybe relief is on its way.

The painting looks way too perfect, doesn't it ~ I like the realist take here ~ Pray for rain ~

Hate to say it, but I wish I could afford some of these cattle being sold off.

Have a great week and hope you get more rain!

July 8, 2012 at 8:56 PM

We need rain, too. If I see any, I'll send some your way ~

Nice to meet you. I am only a small homesteader, with light horses and a few rabbits, ducks and other small
crew. Do love all the hard work and memories.( Not able to breath around hay much any more.) We are pretty dry up here but not parched yet-
our garden is still OK.

I hope you get some serious precipitation, and soon!

=)

Oh dear, I feel for you. This sums up the problem and rhymes well too!

July 9, 2012 at 2:42 PM

After a few days of fairly decent downpours, we are back into summer heat n wind.
Enjoyed your pastel of the farm and cute poem. Hope it rains for you SOON.

July 9, 2012 at 3:51 PM

let it rain let it rain...sending it your way! Lovely poem, it reads so delightfully!

July 9, 2012 at 11:02 PM

I sense the farmers' hard life during weather that is too hot and too dry. Where I am we've had rain and more rain for a whole week.

July 10, 2012 at 2:40 PM

I enjoyed your sentiments, Gail. We are dry and hot here in southern Ontario, Canada too. Rainless and dry. I think we need a rain dance. Thank you for sharing. =D
