We thought Spring had really begun here, but the stupid weather was out there hiding, waiting for all of us to get into that warm-weather mode of beautifully sunny and breezy days. The weather gods have once again proven just who's in charge.
The weekend was warm and mild..... Saturday being the most beautiful day, with bright sun and very warm temperatures. Everyone was out taking photos in the wildflower fields. (A must-do thing for Texans when the bluebonnets are blooming in the Hill Country.) Yesterday's weather was over-cast and very humid, and we knew that rain was on its way.
However, the rain we got this morning was over-the-top and uncalled for at this time of the year, especially since the temperature dropped at least thirty degrees in less than two hours. Along with the rain, we had thunder and lightning. (Translation: The weather gods were saying Take that! And that!!!!)
It is supposed to be very cold tonight, around 38 degrees with a very stiff wind. We are in the middle of April, with Easter just about three heart-beats away. The weather gods need to get a new calender. I think the ones they have are stuck in February.
Speaking of stuck..... that hole by the front steps definitely has been a favorite home to some sort of night-time creature. I've filled up that hole with dirt at least four times now, and all I get for my trouble is another pile of dirt that has been dug back out of the hole by whoever/whatever is trying to claim that spot as its own.
For all I know, there may be an armadillo or a raccoon or a possum under all that dirt. I filled the hole back up this morning and even took the shovel and tamped it down some. As I type, there might be an animal deep down in that hole... he may be able to dig himself out later on tonight, and he may be stuck there for all eternity. And today, as I sit here typing and listening to the wind and the rain outside, I don't much care what happens down underneath all that dirt.
