Gentle showers have been watering the dry earth again today. (No cricket!) This is a wonderful rain as there is very little run-off. Hopefully the moisture on the surface will begin to seep into the sub-soil where it is extremely dry.
The oval where we are now practicing, and is our temporary home ground was very green two weeks ago and is now yellow except for some green strips where the drainage pipes are located.
This is now the 7th dry year in a row, and the driest time since 1904. The earth is suffering!
Next week price of bread will rise 50 cents per loaf as the crops have failed, and flour is more expensive.
Psalm 65:9-10 (Message)
Oh, visit the earth; ask her to join the dance!
Deck her out in spring showers; fill the God-River with living water. Paint the wheat fields golden. Creation was made for this! Drench the ploughed fields; soak the dirt clods with rainfall as harrow and rake bring her to blossom and fruit.
