Well, the great drought of Texas is upon us. It finally hit 110 degrees at my house this summer, something I don't think it has ever done. I haven't had a good rain at my house in probably well over 2 years. I live in the country and have about 3 acres I've been trying to clear by hand for the last 8 years. I've got about 3 piles of brush on my property that I haven't been able to burn in at least that amount of time. It's just too dry.

I live next to Medina Lake and it is the lowest I have ever seen it since 1998. At the north end of the lake where my neighborhood is it is officially dry from shore to shore. You can see from the photos below that we are in an emergency situation. Everywhere where you see nice beautiful green grass there should be nice beautiful lake water. The cows from the ranch across the lake have taken to grazing the lush landscape but the fish I am sure wish they had more of a place to swim. Keep us in your thoughts and pray for rain. We can sure use it down here.

Some of the below photos are from 2004 so you can see where the water normally is. Some are from the last drought we had in 2009 and the worst photos are from this year. Hopefully, God willing, we have a very wet winter.
