Pray for Rain-a visual comparison for you

Folks, it is SAD. South Texas really NEEDS rain. I've mentioned this before and wanted to show you a few picture that will open your eyes to the severity of the issue. Here are a few pictures of a good year at the ranch. The clouds are really cool in these too. In this case, pictures speak a thousands words.
Full tank and green grass...nice..also notice the javelina in the road on the left.

It hasn't looked like this in nearly 2 years

Take one last look.

Now, here are two pics of Lena Kate to ease the harsh truth. This was last weekend.

Lena Kate inside watching Mimi and Charles outside. Mimi is pretty good to be able to ride that 4-wheeler!

Now-the harsh reality. Just dirt and cow poop.

This is the same view as above. This little gal is one you are praying for. NO GRASS

The water in the tank is long gone.

You can barely tell the difference between the road and what should be pasture land covered in grass.
Don't let the green yard fool you, Mimi has to water ALOT, which hurts Papa's pocket book.

Lena Kate asks if you would please absorb the reality of these painful pictures and keep the farmers, ranchers, wildlife and all those affected by the drought in your prayers. It stretches further than you think.

Goodness! Ya'll do need some rain. I know there are so many out that way that need it, we'll pray that the heavens open up and pour out a flood!
