Sarah Rangle is home from the hospital with the new baby.

Amazing the number of drilling rigs that are still in the Sweetwater area. Counting them as I returned this afternoon I could see at least 10 rigs in the immediate area plus a workover rig. To the south extending to Mayfield are more rigs. To the west just over the state line in Texas are more rigs south and north of Hwy 152. West of Sayre there is another grouping of drilling rigs as well.

Lester Davis is still in the hospital and he is improving. They have taken the oxygen off and he is expected to go home tomorrow.

Definitely a little cooler today with the front coming through but no rain so far.

Looks like we have missed the rain again. We may want to consider doing what the Lubbock area did this year. They had been in a prolonged drought. In January the area sit aside a day for prayer and fasting for rain. Since then according to an article in their paper a month ago they had received 8.5 inches of rain. I've seen on radar that they have had more rain since then.

If you live in Sweetwater don't forget this is trash pickup day.
