While driving and listening to the radio I started to think about how music is a great reminder of where we have been, how far we have come, even where we are going.
Music is a mirror to both our past and future. It can remind us of people, places and things that we might have long forgotten. And gives us hope and inspiration for the future.
Many songs have lyrics which one would swear the writer knew or knows exactly what is happening in our lives. It is as though it was written just for us.
Music can make us happy, make us sad, calm our frazzled nerves and even make us angry.
Music can bring joy and peace, be uplifting and encouraging.
Music sets the mood.
Music makes us toe tappers and hip wigglers, some can make us laugh, some makes us cry.
We whistle and hum our favorite tunes.
We sing along with the words we know, make up words for the ones we don't.
Music brings people together.
Just remember...You can Never have too much cowbell.

I Hear A Strange Sound
What's that I hear?
It sounds strangely familiar.
Could it be?
Can my ear be deceiving me?
Maybe I had better take a look.
Wait a minute...can it be...am I sure...
Oh my goodness...I better take a closer look.
It's been a while but I think I recognize what's going on.
Let me think.......
yes...Yes...YES.
It's RAINING!!!
Hallelujah!!!

Weather? or Not
This mornings forecast calls for cooler temperatures. We are supposed to get out of the triple digits. Right now it is 98 degrees.
The forecast also calls for possible rain...but between you and me...the forecast map looks like the rain will all be to the east of League City toward the Liberty county area. Hopefully Mother Nature won't see the map and will decide to give us a little moisture. So far this year it has been either feast or famine.
We are seeing some clouds but so far no rain. Pearland, Pasadena and Deer Park all got a little rain shower last Thursday but League City is still dry. We could see lightning and hear thunder but nothing else.
As for our yard, we are seeing a few hot spots but nothing drastic. Some of the leaves on the plants are starting to curl on the ends so we will most likely loose some leaves.
I'm thinking...maybe we will have a lower water bill and the extra will cover the higher electric bill. lol

NO Water for You
It is official...League City is now under manditory water rationing.
After a month of no offical measurable rainfall and over a week of 100+ degree days something has to be done. According to the weathermen we are to continue with record highs into next week and maybe longer. We have had a couple of 5 minute rain showers the last 2 days but it's not enough to even wet the driveway.
Our house is allowed to water the grass on Monday and Wednesday only between the hours of 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. Thank goodness we have a sprinkler system on a timer.
Our grass and plants will definately suffer but when the good Lord decides to send rain they will perk back up as long as I can keep the roots alive.
UPDATE...Things are getting seriously dry.
Thursday we were notified restraunts can no longer serve water to patrons unless specifically requested.
You can water folage aka blooming plants as long as you have a spray end nozel on your hose. This can be done between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Absolutely no running hoses!
They will be patroling and any violation will result in a fine up to $500.
One positive--NO MOSQUITOS!!!
