This week has flown by so fast that I can not believe it is already Thursday. The heat and wind have been horrible and I still do not know why our wind patterns have changed so much as no one seems to be mentioning it.
While I have not left the house I have been busy raking those horrible mesquite pods in the morning and late afternoon when the heat is not as bad. It is so demoralizing to pick up these suckers only to come back that evening or the following day and find even more pods to rake.
Yesterday Wednesday, was trash day and I was able to fill two empty 44 lb. bags of cat food full of mesquite pods and I haven't even made a dent. I wish it was not so expensive to cut down all these pesky trees. We do not need the shade nor the extra work they require. Over the years several have been struck by lighting, been through droughts, ant infestations, and yet they have not perished...😢
The heat and UV levels have been high. I have a tan line that clearly shows where my socks and capri pants line were.
I fell asleep watching Late Night With Seth Meyers on NBC last night. Following them is a repeat of the News 4 ten o'clock San Antonio news when I woke up...and guess what? A San Antonio hospital suffered the same fate as Val Verde Regional Medical Center...their patient's information was compromised and by compromised I mean stolen! To date no mention of this on the Del Rio newspaper webpage.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
