Sandra, we are getting a taste of wet right here in south central Texas. It has come down in buckets each day for a week. It was supposed to be dry over the weekend, but that forcast has now been changed. Some are complaining, but I'm not. We';ll have peaches this year. The farmers and ranchers will have hay for their livestock, and there should be no water rationing. Most of the cities get their water from an aquifer. Even the farmers irrigate their crops with water drawn from the aquifer. No rain means no water added to the aquifer while demand for water increases. I, too, love the sound of rain. What I don't like is flooding. We've experienced flooding twice in the nearly 45 years we've lived in this area. We moved to higher ground after the 2nd flood. No water has gotten into the house where we now live, but it has been close. One year, another inch would have put it in the house. Most years it is either feast or famine as far as water is considered.
Thanks for the invitation to visit your part of the country. I'd love to but doubt that I'll ever make it. We just got rid of our motor home because it hadn't been used in 3 years. It just sat in the driveway and depreciated.
The frozen waterfalls sound absolutely beautiful. Wish I could see them.
