Seeing Red

April 22, 2013

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 or famine.  The rain, even though it came as a gully 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 is.  It is a beautiful sight to see.  Put me in, 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 FB’s alleged pursuit of SB.  Rumor has it that they were seen together at the welcome home party heading outside for a little alone time, and then FB 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 yours truly that Dot at the water office has  a pool going.  She is taking bets on how long it will take before wedding bells are ringing in Miller.  Anyone who wants to chip in, see Dot before your favorite date is taken.  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 has already taken the 12th of Never.  All of Miller is crossing their fingers, but FB has some serious making up to do if he wants to keep the SB as his own.  The water office opens at nine, just saying.

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.  It 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.  Say a little prayer for our kids this week, would you? They could use it. Happy bubbling to all.
