Lately every day has rain and thunderstorms in the forecast, with every day passing without any rain, except for the drip of a drop or two.
And no thunder booming.
A couple days ago I heard a weather reporting person on one of the local TV stations say the Wichita Falls zone is back in drought mode.
As you can see it does look as if Mount Wichita has not been being irrigated lately, with brown now the dominant color, along with the grassy field which surrounds the only mountain in Wichita Falls, also mostly brown.
And then there are those lily pads I've made mention of a time or two.
The creek from whence those lily pads bloomed is now totally dried up. And yet one lily blooms, at the bottom of the group of lily pads you see above.
The lily pad roots must go deep to manage to keep being green after the creek's water has disappeared.
I may have to go visit my mom in the Arizona desert if I want to get wet in a rainstorm. Lately whenever my mom calls me she tells me the night before she experienced the biggest downpour ever. Along with thunder and lightning...
