Rain, beautiful Rain
Texas, like a great deal of the world, has been in a drought. Here in Austin we usually have a really wet winter. No snow or ice because it stays too warm, but days and days of rain. We didn’t have that this year. In fact, this past week, the temperature [...]
Walkin in the Rain
A few weeks ago we had a few days of rain and made it outside for a few minutes as the rain let up to just a drizzle, to break up the inside boredom.
