Cooler Weather

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 50 degrees, high 68 degrees, clear skies, breezy

A cool front passed through the area last night, but without any rain where we're parked. Once the front passed, the temperature dropped quickly and the wind blew out of the north. Even without any rain, the crud that was in the air yesterday was blown away, making conditions better for allergy sufferers. Carolyn loves this kind of weather, and I have to say I can stand it, too. We were talking tonight about how the weather reminded us of what we encountered while in northern California and Oregon.

Work continues on schedule, with the major issues appearing to be behind us. That doesn't mean that everything will be smooth sailing now, but the problems we had last outage have been overcome this time around. It looks more and more like I will be finished by the 28th of April.

I've mentioned several times how much we like the spring in Texas, with the wild flowers taking center stage. It appears that this spring, there is a bumper crop of wild flowers, which means that scenes like the one below are being repeated throughout the state. This picture of a field of bluebonnets was taken outside Brenham, home town of Blue Bell Ice Cream, some of the best ice cream we have eaten. In a previous post, I mentioned that from a distance, fields of bluebonnets look like blue smoke on the ground.



Today was a busy one, and I'm wore out. I'll try to do better on the blog tomorrow. Until then,

More later, be safe.
