Most days I get up early to feed the cats and then start the never-ending task of doing yard work before the sun and the heat make it unbearable. I am glad I drugged to the curb most of the pesky mesquite branches I have trimmed but not had an opportunity to move to the pile. I say that I am glad because yesterday they finally came to take them away after over a month.
I had to run errands in town yesterday and before coming home decided to go by San Felipe Lions Park to see what the flow rate of San Felipe Creek was.
There were a few people there but no one was swimming. The creek flow was very poor.
It looked more like a pool than a creek.
The houses in the background are personal residences and have private access to the creek from their properties. They have signs on their property to that effect.
Even though we have had rain this year, the faucet has been turned off and we are once again experiencing drought conditions and the creek flow is testament to that.
San Felipe Lions Park is where Mayor Dora Alcalá Hike and Bike Trail begins. Though with this heat I did not see a single hiker or biker.
I do not know on what day we are of triple-digit temperatures in the Del Rio area as we get our news channels from San Antonio and they focus on that city.
This evening at 10:18 p.m. per KENS-5...Del Rio was sitting at 97 degrees.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
That slow creek looks beautiful to me at this time if year. So glad there is any water at all and it is so CLEAR. I'm from muddy creek country, most of the time, though occasionally they will run clean. Hot hot hot, yes. If you want to see what your temps are, here's a source, but of course not on the TV . https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/tx/del-rio
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the things I like about San Felipe Creek, that it is clear, and I can see if there are any critters around. Though it has been YEARS...since I have gone swimming there.
DeleteThanks for the link to wunderground.com just learned there is a possibility of rain this evening, as well as tomorrow.
