It is what Bird uses opened bottle caps for.
The pond has came up 6 more inches since I posted #8477above.

Our pond is at least 4' down. It hasn't been like this since the 2011 2012 drought. It was maybe 6-7' down then.

But they are saying rain on the way tomorrow morning. KXAN prediction up to 3" for Giddings/Bastrop area.

I'm still trying to figure out where western east central Texas is? Lexington?

WooHoo! 3-1/2" of rain in the gauge this AM. Normally this would result in standing water in the back yard but not this year.
Several close, violent lightning strikes last night and my son got his first time driving in a down pour for a couple miles.

Been raining lite and heavy non stop. Both ponds are overflowing.

hugs, Brandi

We got 2 inches early this morning, hoping for a little more before the clouds go away for another week!

1.2" North of Austin. My wife saw a teenage deer splashing in a puddle, looking around, then splashing again. Probably the first puddle he has ever seen.

Anybody experiencing the eclipse right now? Got really dark in the living room, then I remembered it was scheduled at 11:45 today. Went outside and used the pin hole method to see it was about 30%.

Neat, Practice for next year's near total eclipse.

I knew it was today, but not when. I think was in a windowless room wiring RJ45 connectors at the time. What an exciting life I lead.

I checked in on it several times, used my welding helmet and dialed in the perfect intensity.

Yes, even though there wasn't a cloud in the sky, it got eerily less bright. Was kind of weird.

The chickens just kept on scratching around for something to eat, so it didn't affect them.

 

[bindian]

The chickens didn't look?
hugs, Brandi

They did, that's why they were scratching around. They're all blind now.

That’s what my brother did. I was mowing and forgot all about the eclipse but I did notice an odd change in the shadows at one point.

Happy Thanksgiving. I was in Colmesneil today for turkey dinner. That is East Texas if you have to look. They had drizzling rain today. They just got their burn ban lifted this week.

Good ole Tyler County. East Texas has been getting rain. Surprised they still had a ban on.

 

[bindian]

I was surprised also.

It was nice to have a cool Thanksgiving this year. Last several years seems like TG always turned off hotter than normal.

I did not think that Winter even applied in Texas

kinda the Spring, Summer, Extra Summer, Fall seasons

Happy Black Friday

Scaredy, in Texas winter is anything below 50f.
