We got lucky in yesterday afternoon’s thunderstorm. We got at least half an inch that will further green up the lawn and trees at the rancho–and sprout some more yellow and pink wildflowers in the bar ditches, among the sparse bluebonnets. Mr. B. and I read right through it. Missed the hail entirely, said to be of the three-inch variety nearby, smashing vehicle windows at one car dealership. Everything was still wet from overnight rains when Mrs. Charm and I took our morning walk thirty minutes ago. Some big storms–green, yellow and red on the weather service radar–are pounding Uvalde at this hour. But they’re headed for San Antonio, not Austin.
