Recovering

Hope everyone is recovering from the Thanksgiving holiday.  Getting back into the everyday routine is really difficult.  The next three weeks will be spent in a frantic overload pace - as many other families will be as well.  It was a nice Thanksgiving for us - family, too much food, and seeing some fall color.  Seems we've shifted in weather to almost winter (34 deg this morning taking the kids to school) but hopefully next week we'll be back to our normal weather for this time of year.  Speaking of weather (had to sneak it in), we've been receiving some rain around the state, not enough to alleviate the drought, but certainly enough to lift the burn bans on many counties - which is a step in the right direction.  Hope you enjoy my one picture of fall color we saw in East Texas (the yellows are really visible, but the reds are just starting to show).

Rain

We have been getting small amounts of rain here & there, but not enough to make a dent in our exceptional drought situation.  Looking back through some pictures that I took last year, you can see how the drought was already starting to effect Texas.  I'll be adding pictures to this post as I run across them - just to illustrate it's effects.
