Coming Unsprung

Old-time  area residents will tell you that Spring never arrives here until after the trail rides and the parade leading up to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. 

Doesn’t matter what the Groundhog says, we’re going to have one last shot of cold, wet, nasty weather in the week leading up to the Rodeo.

Well, the trail riders got to town on Friday, and Saturday we had a high of 83°.  I took that as a sign that Winter was over.

Looks like I was a little premature. 

It did reach the upper 70s yesterday before the wind switched around to the North, but it’s 7:00 a.m. on Monday and I just came in from thawing out the pressure switch on our water well. 

The current temperature at the Boggy Thicket is 26°.
