Hallelujah!Finally, after several months of dry, parched weather - we have been blessed to receive rain - and lots of it! It’s been at least 9 months since our beautiful Texas Hill Country received a significant amount of rain. With the high winds we’ve been having, the entire area has been under high fire alert. Several hundred acres of land have been lost to fire. (A reminder to NEVER toss a cigarette butt out of the car window!) Gillespie and surrounding counties have been placed in Severe Drought Stage. As a matter-of-fact, Governor Rick Perry has asked that every county in the state be considered for drought assistance.To put it simply:
Texas has been bone-dry.But thankfully, the clouds opened up and the
Gillespie
County area received a good, soaking rain. I’ve heard reports of 3 1/2 inches of rain in the city of Fredericksburg, 4 inches in the outlying areas, 3 plus inches in
Mason
County.Records from the last 21 months show the Hill Country area to be 28″ behind normal rainfall. While this blessed 3″ rainfall we’ve received is only a small portion of that, we appreciate every last drop of it.Before long, the bluebonnets will be sprouting, the fields will be greening up, and springtime will look like springtime in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Come on out and take a look!
