My heart is broken. I am exhausted, emotionally more than physically, but above all spiritually. I have heard it said a disaster will bring out the best and the worst in people. I would agree. I don’t consider myself part of a political party. I vote for whoever I think is better for the job. …

A Pop-up Storm from the South
A little tiny afternoon downpour blew through. i brought the dogs in, closed the greenhouse windows, put out a bucket, and we all took a nap.
An Unusually Prolific Hail Season
There’s been a lot of hail this year. There hasn’t been a substantial amount of prolonged rainfall since 2019. We’re getting more hail than rain. It seems this was a good year to build the carport. You just never know what the skies are going to do.
Not all Snakes are Bad Snakes
I hear a lot of coworkers that live in slightly larger more populated cities say, “the only good kind of snake is a dead snake”. Well that’s just cuz you live in a more landscaped developed area and you dont have a bunch of wide open tall-grass areas and you have little need of their …
The Last Storm Before the Carport
This post is a bit out of order. I had started it and then misplaced it and just found it so i guess i will finish it. There was a storm in between the twenty minutes of hail storm and the construction of the carport. My best friend/neighbor has a rather large carport that can …

Rain
2023 was the first time any of us had seen the Guadalupe River dry. We had never known what color the rocks were at the bottom of the river. As it turns out, they were white limestone rocks. I hadnt anticipated that with all the red clay surrounding the river. No matter the frequency of …
Timing, Dishes, and Weather.
It sprinkle rained off and on for a whole week so i couldnt use the dish washer. Then suddenly the forecast called for 2 sunny days. Endometriosis came to play and both days ended up being days in which i couldnt lift the 40 lb dishwasher and carry it to the porch dragging the tube …
An Eggciting Haul
With the wet weather and high humidity of the past week i have had to wrench the chicken coop door open to collect eggs during brief drier spells: every two to four days. When it is wet the wood door swells and cements itself to the frame. today i collected after not being able to …
