"I've fallen and I can't get up."


My dad broke his hip the first time when he was checking his rain gauge, so I come by it naturally. After Sunday's big rain I was itching to see the lake level at Oak Point. The sidewalk was indeed slippery, and the mud was oh so ooshy-squooshy in places, especially on the boardwalk. 

I didn't do any hip-breaking or knee-twisting skids, knock on wood. The 911 sign is a wise addition for the park.

Spring at that awkward age


I missed the trout lily blooms this year, but it is just the very beginning of bluebonnet season. No glorious wildflower masses of color yet. Just shiny and fuzzy new leaves venturing out under dreary sky.
