Count Our Blessings

Our weather here in The Valley has been pretty nice. We have had days of warm weather and days of cool weather, but few days of wet weather . . . until today.

Last night at about 9:00 PM, it began to rain. Not a gully-washer as we occasionally have in the Midwest, but a steady moderately heavy rain. It rained continuously all night long and finally began to let up at about 10:00 AM. The rain didn't stop then, but at least it began to slow down.

When we awoke, the streets here in the RV Park were flooded, curb to curb. Fortunately we do have paved streets with curbs, otherwise our lot may have been under water too. I would have taken a picture of the flooded streets, but had left the camera in the Blazer and wasn't about to go out in that steady rain to retrieve it.

South Texas needed the rain, I guess, and the forecast is for more rain throughout the day today and all day tomorrow . . . but the the sun is expected to return with temperatures in the upper 70's on Friday and through the weekend. That will be nice.

I hate to complain about the rain as I should be thankful that we're not in the cold temperatures with ice and snow, which our family and friends are experiencing back home. I promise to "Count Our Blessings".
