Texas has been in a drought situation for a while now. We've been on water restrictions for the last two years and predictions were that we would continue to be dry and parched at least through this upcoming summer, with no foreseeable moisture. Lakes have completely dried up in the Panhandle. Large established trees died last summer, so I had visions of losing even more trees this next summer.
Of course, this IS Texas. We've had a wet winter so far, and as I sit here listening to the rain that's been falling since late last night, I just keep thinking, "More rain, please." Lakes around my area are close to full; the lake I grew up swimming and boating on up in the Panhandle is still empty and dry. Sad, really sad. Although I did lose a pair of glasses off the front of a boat once...guess I could find them now.
The job hunt is not going well, but that's an entry for another day. The web site for the book is almost complete and I'll share the url when it's up and running. I hope everyone has a great weekend, and if you've got some spare rain, please send it on to the still parched areas in the South and West states. Our lakes need it and will thank you for it.
