I already have two ponds. Elevation on the farm is flat, flat and more flat. Elevation is 330 feet. There are slightly higher and slightly lower areas around me, but for the most part, fairly flat. The soil is a loam, mixture of sand and clay. Water soaks in well until it rains so much that...
It has rained so much! By yesterday afternoon my road in front of the farm was flooded. I saw a neighbor that lives past me drive through it, kicking up rooster tails of water. Hope it’s drained off this morning.
On my second cup of coffee. Still dark outside. I’ll feed Spot the bottle lamb and...

Fog is lifting. Supposed to rain some more today. Too wet to do anything outside, I am bored. I might go to Nacogdoches today just to get out of here. There’s a health store there I’ve been wanting to go to. I need some vitamins. I’m a big believer in vitamins and minerals.
It rained yesterday. By the time it quit, I had already come in and wasn’t going back out, just before dark. Tornadoes in Houston and to the northeast of Houston.
I have a recliner, so when I sit down, believe me, my feet are up!
I didn’t do much yesterday due to rain. I did 3 loads of laundry, fresh sheets on my bed, cooked roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy for supper, did lots of reading. Went out in the rain to care for sheep and dogs. Today is...

I got a storm December 23 at 8:00 PM through Christmas Eve morning. Power was off all night. Got 3 1/2” of rain.
It’s storming again. Looks like it will be over soon for me. Storm is moving east, tornado warnings, it’s moving over Houston, going over to beat up Louisiana.
My small tarp “porch” worked just fine. Got 3 1/2” of rain night of December 23 into Christmas Eve day. Power went off, the wind blew and it rained hard. The hoop shelter stayed dry inside! The ewes appreciated the thick bed of weeds.
