It
appears that those April showers have finally shown up. Along with those showers, the possibility of
flash flooding. As always, it’s either
feast of famine. The rain, even though
it came as a gulley washer, was a welcome break. Now that the rain has arrived,
everywhere you look, you see signs that spring has sprung. The cooler temperatures have people out
walking, children are practicing baseball and soccer on every available patch
of grass in Miller. When the rain lets
up for a minute, that it. It is a
beautiful sight to see. Kind of gives
you a glimpse of what life was like before we became so dependent on air
conditioning. Put me, coach, I’m ready to play.
For
those of you who are hungering for some good gossip, pull up a chair. There is news to be had on the progress of
farmboy’s alleged pursuit of the snowbird.
Rumor has it that they were seen together at the welcome home party
heading outside for a little alone
time, and then HE disappeared suddenly...before we sang “For she’s a jolly good
fella.” Interesting. She stayed, smiled,
and charmed the multitudes. Can this
blogger just say that the new favorite color in Miller is red? The guys out there will be adding a chorus of
amens to that thought, no doubt. Also,
it has come to the attention of your truly that the locals have a pool
going. They are betting on how long it
will take before wedding bells are ringing in Miller. Everybody is chipping in a dollar, and the
person who gets the date of the proposal, no we’d better make that wedding,
given what happened the last time, will get the pot. This intrepid blogger will be joining in the
fun. All of Miller is crossing their
fingers, but farmboy has some serious making up to do if he wants to keep the
snowbird as his own. It will be
interesting to see how it all turns out.
Meanwhile,
the rain is falling creating slick streets.
Drive with care, and for goodness sake, don’t be daft. When the stream has flooded out of its banks
and is running across the road, turn around and find another way to get where
you are going. Do not drive through running water. It just isn’t safe folks. But hey, don’t take this blogger’s word for
it, ask old HM down at the feed store.
Cost him a pretty penny to get his brand new Jeep pulled out of Salty
Creek.
And,
parents, don’t forget to wish your children good luck. This is the week that 3rd and 4th
graders take their Reading and Math STAAR tests. Happy bubbling to all.
