Too many weather events

I do not recall so many weather events taking place in one year. I went back and read some of my prior year's posts but not being a daily blogger I either did not document them or they were few and far between.

We are currently under a severe thunderstorm watch. It has been miserably hot today at 3:37 p.m. it was 101 with a heat index of 110 degrees per The Weather Channel. Though there is relief on the way as a cold front system is moving in that will bring temperatures down to the high 70's and mid-'80s on Monday and Tuesday, while also bringing even more rain to this normally desert area.

Yesterday was also miserably hot so I left the weed eater, extension cord and other gardening tools outside. Waited until late this afternoon to put them away. I had forgotten that I had opened the windows in dad's old car, it was a good thing I noticed it or I would have had a big clean up event on my hands.  It is hell to have CRS... :-(

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

His name is Ralph

I have been watching videos of how to set up a ridge line as well as learning how to tie knots and for the life of me...I can't do it...sigh!  Lest you forget Terlingua 2014 is less than three months away.

You are probably thinking...there are no trees in the desert why would you want to learn to do that?  Well (I know you are laughing Dizzy) I need to wash and dry my tarps and our clothesline is so old it will probably buckle from the weight.

For those new to the blog last year during Terlingua 2013 we had an unprecedented rain event on the last day and I had to pack up wet gear and get out while the getting was good.  Here is a link to that post http://terlinguadreams.blogspot.com/2013/11/sunday-debacle.html

I did not even go outside until late this afternoon as the temperature reached 101...I know, I am a wimp!  Heard this little meow and saw the little orange kitty running towards me.  Darn thing is so lovable and he cried so much I went and got him a hot dog like last time...followed by a second one.

This was his second hotdog so he wasn't as interested
in eating as he was at posing for the camera.

I decided to name him Ralph.  He was my bodyguard this afternoon as I made my way to check-up on Walter but you will have to read that on Walter's blog.  You can get there by clicking on my header picture or this link http://mylittlewalter.blogspot.com/

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
