Weather: low 47 degrees, high 51 degrees, rain, windy
The rain started falling about 2300 hours last night, and hasn't stopped yet. If anything, it's raining harder now than it was last night. The area is under a flash flood watch, but we should start seeing an improvement later in the night, and most of the wet weather should be cleared out by noon tomorrow.
In last night's post, I attached a picture of some geese that we couldn't identify. Reader and friend Jerry identified them for us as Egyptian geese. Thanks, Jerry.Most of you who know Carolyn know that when the weather is like it was today, she likes to burrow in at home and not stir outside. That's what we did today, except when I had to go to the post office to mail a letter. There was little traffic on the road, and I can't say I blame people for staying in. This was weather that was not fit for man or beast. The deer stayed away, probably sheltering in the trees.
When I'm forced to stay inside like today, I tend to get cabin fever. As small as our home is, that's not good. Knowing that I needed to try to stay occupied with something, I scanned our bank records and some other stuff so we could get rid of all the paper. When that was finished, I did a little reading, watched a little television (bad stuff), surfed the web.... Of course, Carolyn was right there helping, and tonight, she prepared a nice meal for us that seemed to push the bad weather away.
Both of us want to get out tomorrow when the weather's better. One of the first things on our list is to drive the Devil's Backbone, the crest of a ridge in the hill country. If the sun's shining, maybe we'll have some pictures to share.
More later, be safe.

I've got relatives in Houston and have heard the weather has been terrible. Hope it improves for you soon.
Thanks for the good weather wishes. It has gotten better, and the next few days are forecast to be mostly clear.
