Mother nature is still angry

I had cleared my calendar in order to finally go to Houston to check on my house after the passage of Hurricane Harvey a month ago.  However, mother nature had the last laugh. We are under flash flood warnings and it has been raining heavily and will continue to do so for a couple more days.

Actually, it would be difficult to even try to make it to San Antonio as Uvalde, Texas has received a lot of precipitation and many roads are closed.  I was surprised that one of San Antonio's television stations sent a reporter to Del Rio to cover the expected deluge.

This morning my arms, legs, and back hurt from bailing all the water yesterday.  Mom's old house needs a lot of TLC.

I had to go into town as we were running low on everything.  At both HEB and Walmart had to wait for the rain to die down but at least we are stocked up in case they put up the barricades out of the subdivision as is the case when it rains a lot.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

More rains

Hopefully, I won't lose my internet connection before I can publish this.  It rained cats and dogs last night and the electricity went out several times and with it the television and internet.  Had no other option but to go to bed at 10:30 p.m.

The rains started up once more around 1:30 a.m. this morning (Monday) and the Internet keeps on going out. I hate to admit this but I was much better off when I had cable.  DISH sucks!!!

I knew the rains were coming and felt so guilty because Pedrito is tied up, so I released him after feeding him as well as Tammy and Oscar.  He behaved for a while then started bullying Oscar. The only thing that made him stop was the lighting and thunder and the fact that the other dogs left.

I have often wondered, where do they go to?  They have the garage/carport where they can be high and dry but they choose to go elsewhere.  Pedrito sought refuge behind the old washing machine in the covered patio by the kitchen door.

This afternoon when all three were eating another dog walked into the yard, he had a collar and looked like a pit bull.  The three of them chased him away and Pedrito started fighting with him. Then he decided to fight with Oscar.  There is no hope for that dog...he needs to be restrained full time!

I have a feeling Tammy is in heat and there will be more dog intruders coming around.  How I wish she would trust me and let me get near her so I could take her to the vet to be fixed!

We are under a flash flood warning as it is supposed to rain all day.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
