Wading in from soggy Texas. Here I worried my sister's vacation to Ocracoke Island in North Carolina was going to be spoiled by a hurricane. They waited a day or two then were able to head out. I told her she should come to Texas instead, but just as well she didn't. We got all of the rain.

There's a birds nest dangling on a branch outside my office window. Someone check and see if MOM still has that bird's nest collection out in the laundry room? I'll trim this one out of the tree if she want's it (it's kind of woven around several branches and has an entry hole on the bottom side of it. Looks like something the National Geographic would write about in a scrubby tree on the African veldt).
