How are you getting water without the well?

I'm sorry to hear about all the water problems there. We had 2 years of
drought here, but no to that extent. You are right about feast of famine.
This year it's rained so well and I'd cut way back on animals in the pasture
and planted a lot less than the last two years.

Hopefully the drought will break for you soon, a storm would be nice if it
does not flood.
