It seems so strange that we moved to the desert yet it seems to rain here much more often. The drought in Texas has affected so many places but Bastrop was affected by the drought and then the wildfires. I can only remember it raining about 5 or 6 times last year in Bastrop and it has rained here more times than that since July.
We have a 550 gallon water storage tank that filled up to the 350 gallon line in just one day. It is now full and has been for a while. We really need to get some more tanks.
On Sunday we got over a quarter inch of rain at our place. This seems like a lot but it isn't even close to what we got last week. It rained so hard last week that our road flooded. Stephen had to get out and walk it to see how deep it was. In one place the water was up to his waist.
Along with the rain comes amazing skies and the occassional animal out for a stroll. I captured this picture of a turtle drinking from a mud puddle just after the rain stopped.
Glad to see that y'all are getting some good rains. Our home is in Elgin, but our hearts and cabin is on Terlingua ranch. We were out there last week and got some rain on Friday and Saturday. Don't have a rain guage but I would guess we had about .25". Great pictures of the scenery out there.
