Well we were supposed to get eight to twelve inches of rain and we only got seven inches in Lake Jackson. Officially. When I get home and IF my fence is still standing and IF my rain gauge is still attached to the fence, I will know how much rain I got at my house. But Lake Jackson has corrected the drainage over the past ten years or so. We used to have a lot of street flooding. They put in drains under the streets, put in new streets, and we have a drain in our backyard! Takes a lot more than 12 inches to impress us now!

We kind of think our fence and many others could be down. Ours is 21 years old and if it is down, we will have a new one put up. I am much more concered with my house. A man’s home is his castle, but it means much much more to a woman! Women tend to be the nesters.
