It was on the news about how much rain Texas has received. So much in so little time. Weird for sure.

Waded outside this morning to survey the overnight damage. I checked the trusty home weather station and it revealed that our windspeed overnight never topped 20mph. However, it toppled one of the neighbors trees onto my fence. Yay...not. Also blew some crate pads that I had hanging on the fence all the way across the yard - in the opposite direction that the tree fell. Toppled a freestanding wire chicken coop in a third direction... Seems like we had some rotation going on - thankfully only baby winds to back it up!
Just to add to my workload - the tomato screen house is missing a large portion of the screen, but it did offer up a couple of beautiful cherry tomatoes for my breakfast. I'll have to get that put back up ASAP. Later, I wandered into the raised bed area later and plucked about a half-dozen ears of corn that were begging for some butter. My entire harvest of corn will probably be less than a dozen ears. I planted too early and had terrible germination because of it. I planned to replant - but never got it done. However - it is delicious! I need to order some more seeds for next year.
Have a guy coming tomorrow for a couple of bucklings. Always nice to lower the feed bill.
Oh - surprise, surprise. More rain coming.
