Raindrops Keep Fallin on Texas

























After 5 years of drought,  the rain came! and it came, and it came - then waited a week and it came again with high winds creating powerful high waves that lifted over twenty 2 X 10 pier planks that floated to shore downwind!  Roly and family walked and rescued most of the wayward slats!  As you can see,  the pier and boathouse was completely under water.  Blake and friends are standing in the front yard and carefully so or they'd suddenly be chest deep if stepping past the sea wall!  Since these photos,  they have continually lowered the lake again revealing the pier and making it possible to begin the repair process.  Maybe by summer,  the lake will again be where it should be and the downpour of 2015 will be forgotten!
