2014 - Day 352/13 - Thursday...

I have never been very successful at predicting trends in the stock market or the weather.  All week long they have been saying there would be a monsoon-like precipitation event in the area tomorrow (beginning late this afternoon or evening and continuing through about 1 o'clock Friday afternoon.  Now (I think) they are back-tracking on that prognostication, and have lessened the amount of rainfall we are to expect.  That all occurred approximately thirty seconds after the cattle moving event scheduled for tomorrow morning was cancelled (postponed) because of the foul (not fowl) weather.  Even the dedication of the Habitat Home that was scheduled for tomorrow (that the Austin Board sponsored along with KVUE) was called because of the weather.  CORRECTION:  The dedication of the Habitat Home scheduled for Noon on Friday, December 19th HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED.  I was wrong!  The dedication is still on!

We shall see.

No matter, we will play the hand we are dealt.  At least Vera and the other girls will not be sad if the rain is not as bad as has been predicted.  They are enjoying the weather and (maybe even) the new type of food they have been getting.  Whichever one it is, the egg production has increased nicely. 

I built a fire in the stove yesterday afternoon and it is still going very nicely.  It is nice to have the fire going, and I am going to get another truck load of pecan firewood on Saturday, and I hope that will take us through the rest of the cooler weather, but maybe not.  We are expecting more rainy weather (come on El Nino), so that makes it seem cooler.

We shall see.

Deeds, Actions, Changes, PLANNING, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
