DROUGHT

........spring has come & gone since my last post. All the babies are growing up, and all the fresh green has gone. This years drought has been a record, and we deffinatly can feel it here at the Barron Downs. We FINALLY got 4 inches of rain last weekend, and its amazing what water can do. Just a few weeks ago if you looked around it looked like dead winter. Now after just a little rain, it looks like spring......in late August :) We are thankful for the rain to fill our tanks up a little and such, but we sure are ready for the cool down of fall.
