Rain at Last!

We finally have rain! A friend pointed out to me that it was so dry that we don't even have many insects. I'm glad we've got the rain, and I guess I'm glad the insects will be ok, but still...

Wild Turkey

We saw a wild turkey crossing a park road, at Falls Lake.

Picnic!

We went to a picnic at Falls Lake here, and though we are in a drought, and the lake level was down 5 feet, it didn't make much visible difference. I hope we get water soon, though. The gray water connection in our yard has a weird plug, though. I'll have to call the city about that tomorrow.

Skinks

Skinks are little lizards with stripes running down their bodies. We seem to have a few of them living under our front porch. They may be getting the water from the air conditioner.

We have been putting out water for the birds in the backyard.

The rabbits seem to have all disappeared. They may have decided to move on down the hill to the pond area, where there is a better water supply.

Still dry weather here

I look at the weather report for the week, and grasp at straws: scattered thunderstorms. I hope some of the rain gets scattered on us...
