No flood here
May. 13th, 2023 09:52The flooding, at least in this area, was over predicted. I suspect Austin and south got a lot more. For once the breadth of the weather system went south of us. We still got a lot of rain and a few decent thunder claps and there are varying chances of rain for the next 10 days. Fine with me. The wild flowers are having a blast. This from our walk:


Things started off slowly but it has become a spring full of flowers for the first time in four years. Zoe and I are enjoying it immensely.
Our morning pickleball game was cancelled yesterday due to drizzle but one of the members grabbed a couple of courts and we got together an impromptu group at noon. It was hot but fun. I think I lost more than I won but maybe not. I ran around a bunch and it was hot so I was soaking wet by the end.
Today and tomorrow are quiet days. Zoe and Toby and I did our walk but I don't have much else planned. Maybe a nap. I've got a big pile of goodwill stuff I gleaned from my attic box. I'd put a bunch of t-shirts up there a year ago. Time for them to go. It is actually a pretty big pile. I now have all my clothes in one dresser, a fairly small closet and one box for sweaters. Oh, and one suite in Seattle taking up space in my sister's closet.
Smaller and smaller footprint until I have only the last one before I lift it from the ground. Surprisingly comforting for me.
