    Two evenings ago we saw this approaching across the fields. In a drought situation, this is prettier than a painted pig!

    I know!!! We were coming home one afternoon last week and saw the same thing in the west, which was the direction we were heading and I spent a lot of time hoping and wishing that it would be over our yard....and it was. Not much but like you said in a drought that is prettier than a painted pig. Wait what color is the painted pig?

    Painted pig?? Texans are getting desperate to end the drought they paint pigs?o_O

    The pigs are probably glad there are no active volcanoes in Texas to be sacrificed into.:eek:

    One paints a pig according to one's artistic style--Picasso pig, Matisse pig, Dali pig, etc. Some are prettier than others.

    Or Van Gogh....Sunflowers all over it, or Starry Night that's the one I would paint on it and sing the Don McLean song while doing it.
