Still raining off and on here, so far for the month we are at exactly four inches. The official rainfall total for the city of Austin is less that a half inch. Interesting how it rains close by, but not really everywhere. There have been reports of up to six inches in some places, and the lakes have come up a little bit, but I doubt it will do much to increase the levels. As I sit here, I am watching a big series of clouds roll into view; the winds are rising and it is sprinkling outside, a little bit of thunder and it is getting dark. The wind has turned and is now coming in from the south, so I expect we will have another little precipitation event this evening. Still chances through Thursday, too. The chickens seem to be a little bit excitable right now, Vera looks like she has been through a wringer, but I am pretty much of the opinion that she is just molting. We shall see. At any rate, the roosters (hens in drag) will be history not later than the weekend. I can remember as a kid when we lived in Trenton, Michigan...my mother would kill chickens in the back yard and pluck them for dinner. I have thought about the wringing of the neck part, but not too interested in the plucking part.
Pretty good day today, better day tomorrow I expect. Early morning appointments and then afternoon in the office with our web-developer guy.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, MORE RAIN, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
