The OFM was still sleeping well when the crash of the thunder roused him a bit. The the first of the heavy rain that lasted until about 4PM this afternoon started. Then the pine cones etc came down from the pine trees and bounced around on the Castle's roof and the roof mounted RV stuff up there. It did not take long for the cones and smaller limbs and other things to get all knocked loose and onto the Castle. It was nice when the falling items were finished and all there was to hear was the three gallon sized rain drops hitting the roof of the Castle. It was heavy steady rain all day until 1600 this afternoon. There was some local flooding here and there. While the rain was coming down hard the campsite had about three inches of flooding water on it. That all drained in about twenty minutes after the rains stopped.
The OFM just had to go see how the rain was effecting the Little Bay fishing. We pulled Sierra up to the normal spot at the head of the bay looking north. There are some nice benches here and a few palm trees for excitement. But today none of that looked very inviting.
For lunch we went to Whataburger in Aransas Pass so we could check out the flooding over in that direction. Highway 35 had several places where there was a few inches over the road to give you a reason to slow down. But it was drive able if you were careful.
On the way back the traffic on Highway 35 was moving a bit slower and more safely. We are glad they did learn to slow down and not get in any slip and slide activity.
During the afternoon the OFM did a bit of house cleaning. Then he started on a page in the succulents coloring book. Late this evening he called it time to stop and prep supper and write a blog entry. The supper was stoup from a couple of days ago. It was wonderfully tasty and the clean up went really quickly. Here is the progress report picture on today's coloring activity.
It will be interesting to see what we find for trying to have tooooo much fun tomorrow.
Seems like your eye problems are a thing of the past as you haven't mentioned any issues with them for a while - good! The rains are pretty hit and miss here (north FL), our (9 acre) neighborhood lake level is down probably 2". Enjoy your new coloring book. Linda
ReplyDeleteThe eye troubles are alive and causing trouble. My next surgeons appointment is in July to see about surgery for correcting the mess.
