It's another rainy day her in TX and they say it will last into tomorrow.  It's been going off and on all night and this morning it started raining real strong for a few minutes.  Now it is a slow rain, with minutes of a lull.  The sun goes in and out of the clouds teasing us with it's presence.  Guess I can stop griping since this is something the lakes need to fill up.  Drought has been a bitch here in the last few years.

Wow

Yesterday was a cold wet dreary day.  Today, is bright, sunny and still a bit crisp cool temps.  But the birds are singing, and spring is on the way here in the "Lone Star" State.  A warm up is predicted for tomorrow and that will be welcomed.  So, have a "zippity do da" day ya'll.

Today Is?

/wow, it actually is doing what the weatherman predicted.  Great rain going on this morning here in North Texas.  We are thankful for it because there has been such a rough drought is the last few years.  Maybe the lakes will be able to rise alittle more.

Fire

I heard a bunch of sirens take off downtown and wondered why it was taking them so long to get where they were going?  It seemed to me that they were driving around on the local city streets nearby.  After a few minutes I heard their sounds getting closer.  Realizing that they were somewhere near, I opened my back door.  There on the other street directly behind me were the flashing lights.  The big rigs for the Fire Dept. hadn't arrived as yet.  Then I heard them start their loud booming alerts of the "big guys" coming out of their house.  The sound of the big fire truck is very different from the smaller vehicles.  Here they came booming  up the streets, coming to a stop there as well.  What seemed like forever, they worked at containing this house fire.  At one point I heard the sound of axes and then the chain saws took a firm loud cutting sound.  It sounded as though they were attempting to get to a fire inside a wall.  Very soon afterwards I heard the breaking of glass, which meant that they were having to get this stuff out of their way, to contain the fire.
After about 2 hours they had everything under control, packed up their equipment and left. 
I didn't get to watch the video, I was planning on, since there was ,more excitement outside my back door.  :)

Spring?

 

Well, they think it's spring and the temps are real nice.  What do you think.......is it spring yet?

Sunday

It's "Super Bowl" time again and once again the "Dallas Cowboys" failed to make the playoffs.  So, we get another year of waiting and hoping for a team that will take us next year.  If you have your bets down on the winner here's the best of luck to you and your endeavors.  I have 2 numbers and am hoping for a small amount of money to come my way.  I hear that there are many things you can bet on this year, right down to the color of "Gatorade" the winning team will toss on their coach.  Imagine that?

A Day

What a difference a day makes..........it's beautiful outside.  The sun is out the sky is blue......the birds are singing.....the temps are in the 60's and it really looks like spring is on the way.  Tomorrow will tell us if the ground hog" "ground hog" will see his shadow or not?  So, we will hold our breaths until it's official.  This happens every year and it's been going on for many years.  His prediction tells us the possibility of 6 weeks more winter or an early spring.
