Storms

Man, that was some cool front that came through our local areas yesterday.  We were on the freeway and the torrential rain would come and go with strong winds.  Lightning, shot down in front of us a mile or so away and must have hit something, because when it hit the area a huge bright light came up.  The rain was so hard at times, that we slowed down and put on the emergency blinkers.  I was glad to get to our destination and be off the freeway.  People get crazy when it rains and even worse when it's hard and windy. I'm sure that the area lakes got good benefit from this latest storm front.  I know the grass looks great this morning after the good watering it got.

Texas State Fair

Today, is the first day of the "Fair" which will last into October.  It is my hope that this year's event will go without a hitch and fun will be had by all.  I didn't get around to the new items of food that is being offered this year.  Usually, they have a contest and get the best listing of new food types that will be offered at the "Fair" to be enjoyed.  There are many things to enjoy and the new "Big Tex" was unveiled yesterday by high winds, instead of today as planned.  Some people say that his skin tone is too dark, hinting that the ethnic values may have been changed.  What do you think, when you look at his new colors on TV?

Cool Temps

Now that's what I call good sleeping weather.  The night temps are down in the upper 60's and we have the windows open to pull in the fresh air.  No air conditioner is needed in this sweet weather and along with it came some much needed rain.  Not only are the days cooler but the grass may actually need mowing one more time.

Rain Maybe?

The bad weather has been by-passing the Texas State, and we are thankful for it.  We are craving some rain, and hope that a good soaking will be coming along with the cool front that's predicted, tomorrow.  They are saying we have a 30 and then 80% chance of getting rain here in the north Texas areas the next two days.  I know we are all ready for this, and the cool temps as well.
