Oh I am ready! The snow has all melted, and the ground is pretty dry! On Sunday I sat in the yard in capris and sunglasses, drinking a bacardi breezer, and watching Scott do the yard work
Layla explored the yard a bit in her wheels and then settled down under my chair for a nice nap. The sun is shining, and it's spring time again!! Finally!

It's supposed to be 96 here today
. This is the heat ahead of a front, so it will only be 90 tomorrow and 87 on Thursday . I fear we are in for a very long, very dry, very hot summer. But I guess that's what we get for living in Texas!

Gayle, I feel sorry for you for having all that heat. I heard that Texas is having a drought and is rationing water. Are you having to do that or is it west of you?

We are in a severe drought right here in Austin. We moved into this house December 15th and I have had one inch of rain one time since we moved in. We have had a couple of quarter inch rains, but that is it. I have a rain gauge so I'm sure of the amounts. We are not yet in water rationing, but we will be soon, I'm sure. Since we moved we are on a different water system, so I don't know what our rationing system will be. I don't expect we will have any rain to speak of till the fall. It will be terrible this summer, but I think it will be better this fall and winter. I sure hope so!

Is most of Texas like that? What about northern Texas? I hope to get out of Indiana's winter weather someday.

Well, any part of Texas can have a drought from time to time, it's the nature of our weather. But right now, north Texas has had a lot of rain, espcially these past few days. The rain has been just about 100 miles north of us, on up into north Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, etc etc. There is bad flooding in Missouri and Arkansas. We typically have a wet period, then a dry period, then a norma period, then a wet period, then a flood, then a drought. You get the picture. The next time we may get any measureable rain is likely to be from a tropical storm or hurricane in the gulf.

Droughts for Gayle, severe flooding for Lindsey! We are really spread out all over the map, aren't we? I hope both of you get weather relief real quick!
We're having the usual Catskill Mountains weather...unpredictable! It snowed a few times last week, then we had thunder and lightening and very heavy rain last night and the night before. Yesterday was gorgeous though! I went down to the City. Last time to the dentist, God willing!!! It was hot! I got home just in time. I saw the lightening driving home, and got back just to calm Max down when the thunder started. It has been so close that he has been very anxious. Maybe it will be 70 this weekend; maybe it will snow. Maybe both. I'm wearing flip flops anyway, so there!!!
