I am sure they do wonder, Brother Jim!! I was watching the national weather map on the
news this AM, and the vaired things going on is amazing! Even a tornado in Brooklyn!!
Yes, my daughter who is your "neighbor" has said it is hot and dry "in your neck of the woods," too. She was glad to even have had two pickings of green beans, and our Lord has blessed for her to have that!
We live in the country, and do have a well, but it is not an awfully strong well, and I have been careful not to water the flowers at the same time I was using appliances that calls for water.
Yes, I remember that period of extreme heat in 1988 was over a month, that was the year my granddaughter was a baby.
During that time, there was a prison break from Ky. State Penitentiary, and my daughter & family were living near where the escapees were believed to be hiding. I brought our daughter and family to our house, but within two days the men turned themselves in due to the extreme heat and lack of water!
In spite of the drought and heat, the young man who rents our pasture told me this AM that the cows still have plenty to graze, and the pond is holding. Plus there is a creek that is fed by a spring, and it is still good.
Every day, I say "Thank you, Lord, for the AC," but I pray for those without it. We have had central air for only two summers, so I know how bad it can be. There is a campaign for fans in the area, and some "cooling centers" have opened for those needing relief.
