I believe this system it is still heading your way. It is still developing out in the gulf and streaming north and sliding east. I am still getting rain and may be out of it in about an hour. I was right about an all day rain here in Marshall when I posted this morning. It has not stopped all day. Winds were blowing before the rain hit here this morning. Turned out to be just a big all day rain event here. When I got up this morning the temp was in the low 70’s and dropped into the mid 50’s when the front went through.
I'm glad that the rain isn't hard so far, as the pond has time to go over the spillway without raising the pond very much. We have several goose nests in progress and we lost a couple to fast rising water last year. Broke my heart, even though I don't need a single additional goose. 32 is a lot to feed. I now have a strange little duck that has taken a liking to me. He is snow white, with the exception of a dark gray beak and black tail feathers. Cute as a button, and I have no idea from where he came.
Guess I'll put some tomato and pepper seeds in newspaper pots today since I can't get outside. I also have 50 or so pieces of woodenware to assemble and/or paint for my beeyard, but I don't know if I'll get that industrious. :)
