It appears that the rain is over and our 2 day (or was it 2 nights and 1 day?) total is three-quarters of an inch.

I'll have to pay attention to the mesquite. I haven't seen the temp drop below 32 here for some time, close but not quite. My young pecan trees are budding out fast.
I live right by the airport which has a weather station. Showed about a 1/2" of rain total. Just 15 miles below us, Smithville got over 5"!!! I'm jealous.

I had 0.85" yesterday morning and this morning there's 0.35" in my gage, so I've totaled 1.2" for the entire event. It's not as much as I'd hoped for, but I'm thrilled to get that much. The fact that it's only 39 F this morning with no frost is just icing on the cake. I was afraid the temperature here might dip down to freezing and get some of my tomatoes. Instead, I think this is gonna kick-start all the seeds I planted as it warms up over the next few days.
Frost and hail are the two things I worry the most about this time of year.

Had a good time with Mikim and family last night. We had, of course, a very healthy veggie meal and he got to sample my modified carrot cake muffins. I proved you can have a moist deliciousness carrot cake without dairy, sugar, oil, eggs. (apple and date sauce were the substitutes.) I got to use 3 cups of my freshly picked organic carrots! Of course I threw the ingredients together by sight and texture so there is no exact recipe - only guidelines.

Glad you live close enough together to do that. And experimenting with recipes is always fun.

Well Don, I didn't really intend for my dinner to be vegan, but I had a big salad with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, chopped green onions, and chopped fresh asparagus from my garden. I topped it with a tablespoon of low-fat 25 calorie dressing. I also had a bowl of Progresso light southwestern veggie soup and a side dish of fresh celery sticks. I washed it all down with a small glass of iced tea sweetened with Splenda. It was a very satisfying and delicious meal. I'm pretty sure that the Progresso soup has some chicken broth in it, but otherwise, I wasn't too far off your regimen. . . at least for dinner. The tuna salad sandwich and bowl of beans I had for lunch was my halfy-half healthy lunch, but certainly not vegan.

OK Kyle -- you, me & Bwana just identified where that line of storm was at. His place is south and just a little west of me (closer to Smithville) I'm exactly 4 mi due S of Paige, and You're near the Giddings airport on 290. He got over 6", I got just barely over 1" and you got 1/2. Now all we gotta do is draw the line that bisects our positions. .....Next we hire out to NWS....
....NOT ....BTDT.
