Texas Drought Gone Awry

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

For the last two years in Texas, including here in Central Texas Hill Country where I live, the state has suffered through a most horrific drought. It never reached the "worst" level in history, though, leaving the drought of the 1950's still unmatched. 
HOME SWEET HOME

Acreage turned brown, ground cracked, lake levels lowered, and trees died, while the sun beat down daily for months, creating 100+ degree endless days. The prediction was more of the same through end of 2011and on through 2012.

But I guess God doesn't listen to weather forecasts, because the rains began toward the end of 2011, and have continued this year. Miraculously, the aquifer level rose, the lakes filled--not to capacity, but on their way--the fields and pastures burst into green grass and flowers, and the trees revived.
