August 28th

 
Hurricane Harvey, a category 4 storm, has wreaked havoc on the Texas Gulf Coast.
They've been inundated by flood waters and have at least 8 deaths attributed to it. Now the blasted thing is heading back out into the Gulf, heading toward us as a tropical storm. Not a scenario I'm liking.
As I'm typing this, we are under a tornado watch. Its been raining all day. Some minor street flooding and small "lakes" in the yard, but nothing crazy. Several pumping stations in New Orleans aren't even up and working. Typical. The ineptitude of the local politicians is beyond comprehension. Seems that nothing ever changes.



I love watching the rain.
Here, it's collecting on the leaves.
 
 
 
 
The Bird of Paradise is dripping too.
Such a weird looking plant.
Kinda reminds me of the combs on the chickens!
 
 
Speaking of chickens.
These silly birds are playing chase in the rain.

Pepper at the top and Nugget, are soaking wet.
They've been running around the yard playing in the rain.
The other girls are crowded together in the coop.
They are probably talking about how nuts their sisters are for getting soaking, sopping wet!
 
 
Most Golden Retrievers love water, not Leia.
She's not gonna get wet unless the urge to pee or poop is so great that she can't hold it any longer. There have been times where she actually got a urinary tract infection from holding pee in so long!
Ruh ro!
 
But, thankfully she just went out to potty, rain and all.
Awwww. So, who's a good girl?
 
Another obsession of mine is Game of Thrones. The series is on its second to last season.
This last episode of season 7 was the best! No spoilers from me, just watch next season!
It'll be winding up the series.
If you haven't seen it before, catch up on HBO, its worth it.
 
 
I downloaded an app on my phone......
 
So, I turned the short one into a white walker
 
Take care with this weather.
Remember, we've been down this particular road before.
God Bless Texas!
