We had a big thunderstorm yesterday.....

0 comments

Lots of hail! I was working in the garden when it blew in. We were rushing to get the horses in their stalls when the hail started. Most of it was golf ball sized but there were two that fell near the barn that were just smaller than a baseball!! I've never seen hail that BIG before! It was lightning and raining like crazy when we went to bed. We were under a flash flood and tornado warning. Alison didn't want to sleep in the RV so Jeff slept on the couch and she slept with me. Today was a very happy day around these parts today when we got up and realized how much rain we got. I'm not sure what the actual amount was but there was water flowing where water hasn't flowed in a very long time! We have a low water crossing to go over when we leave our house and the water was rushing over it. The river is really up today! We hope for MORE rain because that will be a good tourist season this summer. We've been in a drought for so long that its hurting all the businesses. Jeff and I heard water running this evening. There's a creek that runs through the property but its been dry in most places since we've been here. We walked down to take a look.



This used to be our road....



It was also a happy site today when we went to the grocery store and saw bluebonnets and some other wild flowers along the road! We didn't get any last year because it was too dry! Tomorrow, Jeff is off of work. We'll be getting some work done here around the ranch...probably working in the garden.

What next?
