Oh Diana! I completely understand your pain regarding the rain, farming and crops. The farmer across the road from us just cut his corn and baled it for hay. There were hardly any ears on it because we just haven't had any rain - only about 3 inches since last October. We are about 12 inches in the deficit. It's the same in western Oklahoma, where the wheat harvest was just pitiful. It is very very bad out there, and they were saying we were going to come out of this drought in Sept/Oct. Now, they are saying they are not sure and the drought may continue into the winter. Oh. My. Goodness. This is NOT good. All we can hope for is a drenching tropical storm that does NOT do much damage or flooding at the coast, but gives us some much needed rain.
I know your house is chaotic right now - it's hard with the little ones. They feel the stress of the move too, but that doesn't make it any easier.
