She's a cutie pie Brandi.

June bugs and skeeters here.

Allergies too.

Thanks! Seen some skeeter hawks also. When I get allergy stuff......it always goes into a full sinus infection. I get vertigo.:thumbdown: Guess that happens when a busy mind is clogged up.:2cents: I'm there now. Slowly going stir crazy.:confused2: My mind says do something productive, and my body says be a couch potato.:confused3:
hugs, Brandi

No damage here, lots of high winds and rain over night.

 

[lostcreekranch]

Hardly any rain so far. Looks like worst will be North and East of Houston.

 

[Bird]

It's raining just south of Denton and my rain gauge is getting almost to the one inch mark; just a nice light rain.

 

[sseelhoff]

We had rain overnight, but nothing now. Everything looks to be north and east. Watching a line near San Antonio that may be headed this way.

My Radar app was showing a lot of lightning north of Austin. Glad to hear you just got a good rain.

Don't know much. Worked hard outside yesterday and evening and slept 12 hours. Just woke up. Been raining off and on heavy since 7:30 am. At 7:40 and again at 8:10, I had to get up and turn the severe thunderstorm/tornado watch alert text off on my cell phone, or it would have rang every two minutes. Dang it, the fence line through the low spot was just getting dry enough to work! Barn/shop time today.

TV satellite signal was out when I woke up. It's working now. I was surprised the internet was up. Oops, TV signal just froze.....and it took 30 minutes for this post to upload.

The NWS radar makes it appear that the rain is over for us, so I just went out and poured about 1.9" out of my gauge.

 

[txdon]

They really overestimated this storm. Only a half inch rain and 20 mph winds for a few minutes. Just a regular spring rain. Has anybody else started picking dewberries?

 

[robbyr]

Poured 3 4/10 out of my guage yesterday evening.

 

[lostcreekranch]

Less than 3/4" here.

I saw one ripe one here, but ours have never been plentiful.

I hope everyone had a HAPPY EASTER! We hid the eggs outside twice, then got a quarter inch of rain. We continued hiding eggs in the house.

I'm not sure if we have an Easter Bunny or Easter chickens

 

[Bird]

We had a 2 year old here, as well as a 12 year old, so my wife and I "hid" 3 dozen eggs in the yard. I was afraid we might have some rain, but it didn't happen. But now I'm hoping for rain today. NWS says a 50% chance.

If you not sure just ask your assistant there to throw the eggs on the left around the house.:laughing:
Cute pics.

We hid eggs in the house one year. Then about 2 weeks later we found one that we had missed. The smell was awful.

Thanks, she's our little angel.
