At least, no tornado.\u00a0 Yet.\u00a0 Yesterday included one t-storm and two loud clunks of hail on the barn roof, while I was out there, with evidence of previous hail in the leaves and twigs on the ground…not a big hailstorm, but enough to make clear the frozen clods were up there.\u00a0 Last night we had off-and-on thunder, small spurts of rain; today there’s a bit more but most of it’s east of us, down on the low-lands.<\/p>\n
It was still warm when I went to bed, so left the system set to deal with that, and woke to what feels like (to a Texan in April) COLD.\u00a0 Put the system off possible A\/C and back to “heat”.\u00a0 It’s in the 40sF outside; the horses have sense enough to stand in the barn eating hay, rather than going out in the field to be rained on.\u00a0 (They *would* go out if there was enough lush grass, probably, but they’ve eaten much of it, and getting cold rain on your back and dribbling down your sides is not that fun right now.)\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll need to go out and open another bale in a few minutes, when there’s a short break in the rain, which is heavier than it has been, right now.\u00a0 I’m still trying to get this laptop completely set up, while interrupted by OtherStuff, including all the typos I make on this keyboard.<\/p>\n
The DEEDS OF YOUTH collection, now well into prep, has had its cover copy written (not by me; long experience has shown that writing cover copy is not my core talent!) and the cover designer is looking for the right shade of green.\u00a0 I found a decent enough, but not necessarily the *best,* green leather sample to use as background.\u00a0 Yesterday’s good news is still good: no batch concrete plant on the other side of the 80 acres, and I found the correct password for the Paksworld blog so I’m back into that one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
