Thursday afternoon we started having strong winds, thunder, and lightning. I ran outside to make sure there was not anything that might blow. While Katie and her kittens are afraid of me, Paquito and Nico ran towards me and followed me inside. I have heard that animals know when some bad weather or a meteorological event is going to occur.
The wind was whirling and I could see the dirt flying by then I heard a thump but thought nothing of it. It was followed by a nice three-minute shower. Remembered I had washed two tank tops that I did not have time to bring inside and which would have to be re-washed. When I opened the kitchen door the temperature had gone down and it was actually pleasant outside. I did not have to chase the cats out...they went out on their own.
It did not take long to figure out what the thumping noise was...
Nico decided he liked it better now that it had fallen and proceeded to claim it as his.
As you can tell it did not even look like it had rained. Though later on that evening the thunder began again and we got some more showers. Per KSAT-12 in San Antonio, we received .35 of an inch of liquid gold.
If you look closely the southern tip of Val Verde County where we live is in extreme drought.
I had called the doctor's office because I had not received their bill and was told they sent it out two weeks ago. Why do I continue to have problems with my mail? They mailed me another so I decided to go check the P.O. Box this morning.
I have been craving ice cream and had run out of serranos so made a quick stop at Little HEB. Ended up buying 16 items versus the 2 I had in mind. Doesn't it always happen that way?
At least two of those items did not cost me a dime thanks to HEB's but one/get one free. Got a free Herdez Guacamole Salsa and A Hill Country Fare (their brand) 15 oz. can of chili. Even with only 16 items, I ended up spending $33.60.
Penelope, I did not find the green chili enchilada sauce. This store is small I will look for it when I go to the main one.
Today's Aunty Acid resonates with me as I always b*tch about having to eat salads, it made me laugh :D
