Rain in Texas

We are currently near Wetherford, TX in cattle country. We have a hamfest in Wetherford on Saturday so we have a couple of days before we have to set up for the show.

They have had a lot of rain in this area and the farm ponds are full and the pastures are green and the cattle are really enjoying it, however several ranchers have lost cattle due to overeating the lush green grass. They have to feed them some dry feed or hay every day to eliminate them from bloating from the green grass until they get used to it and not eat so much.

It is lightly raining at this time but should be out of here by morning and sunny through the week end.

Previously we have been in west Texas where it has been really dry and everything is just waiting on rain to get going.

In watching the local news, the Dallas/Ft. Worth area is currently 6.39 inches above normal for the year. So they are off to a good start and hopefully it will be sufficient to keep the crops going.

Not really a lot going on until next week when we get back on the road.
