Rain ??? - Heck, I'm just glad that storm yesterday wasn't snow. Daybreak temps here - 32F. I just hope the hummers have built warm nests up in my old pine trees. The poor wildflowers almost die every morning.

32F in the morning sounds kinda nice
☺️
Rain here stopped for 2 days....and the temps are 90's. More rain expected Tues evening, Wed and
Thurs and maybe some hail! Ground is still to wet to work, but I did get some lawn mowing
around the house done this afternoon. Radar weather "guestimates" it will probably enter La. and
maybe some moving N.E. into Ark.

We had an EF1 on the other side of Tyler from where I’m at, on the other side of Lake Palestine. Probably a 45 minute drive from my place. When I first decided to look at Tyler before moving here, I stayed at the RV Park that was destroyed that’s on the lake.

Well - I guess - summer has arrived. It's been dryer than a popcorn fart for the last two weeks. My Davis weather station is stuck at 6.80 inches of rain. That's since Jan 1, 2024.

The other day I went out to give the Taco Wagon its annual wax job. No rain but enough thunder/lightning - Brownie and I retreated to the house.

Long ago - lightning struck one of the gigantic pines - quite near the house. I saw the aftermath. A spiral burned path down the pine. All the way to the ground. The "sound" - so darn loud I was momentarily deafened. A very visible, lasting impression.

Definitely crazy Tx weather....as usual. Seems like storms last night kind of split plus they took paths that kept varying. Friday night we got 3". N. Tx tornado's Saturday night. Now excessive heat warnings plus
more rain on the way for the coming week! (all that...and I still wouldn't live anywhere but Tx)

The great N.W. is some of the prettiest country I've ever seen. Hope you get some rain soon.
That "pop" is lightning heating up the sap inside the tree causing it to split open. Heard it myself and it will give you chills. Natures power.

Michigan is fine with me because we own so much land here. At one time, Amy and I were looking at ranches in Texas but the land won't support the hay I grow here.

I get that. Besides, you and HayDude and a couple of others on TBN are big wheels in hay/alfalfa
production. I'm just a tiny little spoke trying to keep a fairly clean coastal field and sell all the round bales I can get baled. I'm trying to learn from you guys. So please keep posting about the business!

Wahoo!! It's raining lightly here. Got 0.10 in the last two hours. We were supposed to get this yesterday. Today is fine by me.
