Drought and heat continue in Southeast Texas. Temperatures at or near the century mark every day, and June, typically our wettest month, has brought only a tease – a few widely-scattered showers that managed to avoid the Boggy Thicket entirely.
Lake Houston is at its lowest level in years, with “new” islands popping up all over.
I have a pile of dead limbs in the back yard that I haven’t been able to burn for months because of the drought-related burning ban. At this rate, they will rot – or more likely, petrify – before I can set a match to them.
It’s been so dry that
- Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling,
- the Methodists are giving out wet-wipes,
- the Presbyterians are giving out rain checks,
- and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water!
