The Not So Boggy Thicket

rain-on-a-sunny-day

It rained here a bit on Monday.  Not enough – not nearly enough to break the drought is creating dust-bowl conditions reminiscent of the 1930s across Texas and much of the south-central United States.

It only rained for about half an hour, then the front pushed through and we had a couple days of weather more like Durango or Pagosa Springs than Southeast Texas – humidity in the teens with lows near 50 and highs in the 80s.  Today dawned mostly cloudy, and the uber-optimistic weatherman is forecasting a 10% chance of rain.

The only thing Boggy about the Boggy Thicket these days is a few feet of ditch that flooded when I vacuumed the pool.
