A Little Sleet Is All
We looked skyward, as people in Texas do, searching across the horizon for change. We saw something - little pellets falling on the windshield. They bounced upwards a few inches and rolled downward.
The sky was a little gray again. But we don't complain, Lake Travis, for record purposes, is at 672 feet above sea level, as they measure it. We like it when the lakes fill up, it means water for drinking, which may not be a big deal to some folks, but west of the Mississippi, water is a precious resource. You don't want so much that you have to run for your life, just a gentle mist that makes the deer come out of their hollows and graze on the fresh greenery. Not that there is too much in mid-February, but we are getting close to the warmth of Spring, and we could have a break in the coolness any day now.
