Yes, it does rain in Central Texas!  Talk about a welcome surprise. And yes, Dallin did say matter-of-factly this morning, “It’s going to rain,” as I dropped him off at school.

Careful what you wish for…

Okay, I have been hoping for rain the past few days because the cracks in my yard as large enough to lose a small child.  The rains of the past few days have been a welcome relief to the yard and most of Central Texas, but there is a one major casualty – FOOTBALL PRACTICE!! [...]
