Here in Central Teaxs we are at 92f at 1:22pm. No rain in sight. Everything is parched.

Truck said 97 today when I fed cows. Probably around 5:00. BTW, sometimes you seem to be in East Texas and others in Central Texas. Two properties?

Bastrop is technically both, not sure if that is where he is, but it is true.

I would put Bastrop in Central Texas, even though it has all those pine trees and looks like East Texas, since it is just South of Austin.

Thus why they are called the Lost Pines of Texas.

Yes sir. I stopped in your area and had a steak at Legends the other day.

Rained off and on all day yesterday and last night. Thunderstorm dumped a downpour around 8 this morning. More heavy rain expected this afternoon. Pond is about 1.5 feet from full. Was down a month ago about 5 feet.

Oh yeah, new rain gauge ordered. Old one broke. Lowes didn't have any.

Haha...Those two things related? Sounds a bit like it rained so hard it broke the rain Guage!

We just started getting a good drenching thus morning. Finally got the OK to move into my new house...and we get mud. I'll take it though. Dirt around here was like talcum powder.

No,
It was a cheap Mueller Metal freebie and broke sometime in the 54 days of 100 degree weather here.

When I went to Lowes, I couldn't find any, so I ordered on Amazon.
hugs, Brandi
