RAIN!

Texas has endured a 2 year drought and this past summer was one day short of a tie to be the hottest on record. 67 days of 100+ degree weather will eventually make you crazier than a June Bug. The lakes are low as low and we are on phase 2 and 4 water restrictions - some counties worse than others. Trees dying in Zilker and elsewhere. Overall just harsh. All summer rain has passed over our area as if we had a shield over us! It was maddening and got to be a running joke about the dome overhead. Well, September rolls around and we are one day away from matching the all time hottest record (1927) since record keeping began. So, we get RAIN. It fell for days straight! It was the good soaking kind and brought problems of its own with flash flooding. Regardless, we all relished the wet weather and cooler temps that have managed to stay. When its the low 90's and you think that's a cold snap you know its been a hot summer.

Funny to watch Buddy. He was born in February and hasn't experienced much rain.
