All night it rained, sometimes heavily and sometimes not, but always raining. And it rained all day today. Every mile from the ranch to San Antonio and then on to Canyon Lake it rained. It is really quite astonishing. Even the Pedernales River has water. Tomorrow, I will be interested to see how much water fell in the lake. Canyon Lake has been very low so we needed rain to fill it up.
When we first moved to Texas in 1964, we were surprised to find that many rivers do not flow most of the year. That does not happen in Ontario. And we made fun of the gauges on the sides of the small creeks and rivers, telling you the depth of water. "In their dreams", we would say and laugh. But then it would rain and those dips filled up with water and the flash floods would come so we learned to be wary of high water. Many of the back roads we take to the ranch are impassible during a heavy rain. It is just a different type of rain.
And of course, it is not cold. I was wet several times today but never felt chilly. The forecast is for rain tomorrow too. Goodness.
