The remaining applique prep work on this project is complete
and ready for stitching. I intend to
make it my primary focus right now. This
week is shaping up to be a very busy one with something on the schedule every
day through Friday.
We were fortunate to get 1.68 inches of rain Saturday night. Lake Buchanan, which is the primary source
for the “constant level” lakes south of it on the Colorado River is still 17
feet below average, although this weekend’s rain will possibly add another foot
or so to its level. Every bit helps, and
we were very fortunate that the severe weather missed us. Folks in other parts of the state are dealing with dangerous flooding. Our's is an area of drought punctuated by floods. I don't know who originated that quotation, but it certainly fits. The Central Texas area has had a population boom over the last several years, partially due to the growth of technology companies here. There is a real concern about how the area's water supplies will be able to support that growth.
The pond in our neighborhood is getting a good flow from the
creek that feeds it. I usually see water snakes in this area every spring. So far, though, I've only spotted one and it was dead.

Beautiful applique! So glad you got some much needed rain. That is a pretty pond. Hope you have a great week!
glad you are getting rain as long as you don't get the flooding the southern part is getting!
