Blub, Blub

Well, the rain continues (forty days and forty nights?). As our daughter Veronica said, "I'll probably regret saying this in August, but I'm sick of rain and want it to stop!"
Yesterday, across Lake LBJ from our house in Horseshoe Bay, 19 inches of rain fell between midnight and 10:00 in the morning. That's about six-months worth of normal rainfall.
On the positive side, the lakes are full for the first time in several years, the wild flowers were stupendous, and you can tube-float the Guadalupe River without bumping your butt. On the negative side, our realtor is finding it difficult to find folks willing to venture out in the rain to see our house. It'll happen, and in the meantime we decided to start prepping our property for construction. We are going to be clearing, connecting water, bringing in caleche for a driveway, and installing a septic system.
