Can you believe it? 11.31.15

                Tomorrow is November 1st, and the time to change you clocks.
            Last weekend we had 7 inches of rain here at The Ford Homestead. The grass looked better, the trees were happy and by mid-week the ground was again dry. I took a photo from the driveway, after mowing the yard, see below.
            Below we see a photo of the back yard taken from the back door.
This Friday we had 4.5 inches of rain. Friday night through early Saturday morning we received another 2 inches of rain, totaling 6.5 inches. The sum of both weekends precipitation is 13.5 inches at The Ford Homestead, and in surrounding areas there was much more.
Patrick who lives near Austin, has received large amounts of rain, probably more than we received.
David who lives in Hewitt, lost power at his house yesterday afternoon just be for dark. I find it interesting, the storm was over when the power went off. After they went out to supper it was decided that the grand kids would come to our house for the night. I haven’t talked with Dave today so I don’t know when they got the power back on.
            Below we see the grand kids playing in their room.
            It appears they have all the houses, people and accessories in the floor. Do you think they will pick them up?

Hope you enjoy and extra hour of sleep this weekend!
