Missouri in Drought Part 1

I've been going to post this for three weeks, but I can't seem to find the time to go back through my CD's of photos from April and May to find the ones I wanted to post, so I'm posting these few from the last two weeks as part 1 and hopefully I can find time to post the others eventually. The first one is a small pond that has completely gone dry. The middle two are of the lake below the house. That all used to be under water. The last one is of a tree along the bank of the lake. Those roots should be under water. Instead they are exposed and about 5 feet from the water. I don't know how the tree is surviving!

    You all are in our prayers. Our church made special prayer this past Sunday for the areas so severely touched by drought. Our family in Kansas has lost two yard trees and every small plant they had planted. We are heartbroken for you and seek God for intervention.

    We know about severe drought in Australia and how devastating it can be. I am still praying for rain.
