Is there any rain at all in the forecast Diana?

There were 25 homes and 12 businesses destroyed by the fires near Austin over the weekend. Very very bad and very scary. We are so dry here in central Texas, I fear this won't be out last bout with fire!

There was another fire in our county yesterday afternoon. So far over 2000 acres have burned. Thankfully only one house has been destroyed. There were some barns lost, and one rancher lost 35 head of cattle. So sad!!!

It wasn't as windy today, so hopefully things will settle down a bit. Two of the fires were attributed to people burning trash. You'd think they would be more careful.

Diana, you take care and keep that yard watered!!

No, no rain. It's been like this all winter and when we have had a forecast for rain we've gotten just a trickle. I sure hope that this isn't what summer will be like. My son is coming back to farm with us and all of us really need a good crop.

Marilyn and Gayle, I hope for all of our sakes that we get a really good rain shower and end all of this fire worry.

This is so scary! Just be safe! How awful for those who lost their homes and got hurt.
