deep in the heart of the great state of Texas

July 29, 2004

Leo is 3 months old now and is turning into a beautiful little colt. His mane isn't entirely blond but it's getting there. He looks the spitting image of his mother.

I took this picture in the morning and that night we got 12 inches of rain! So much rain, it knocked out our only bridge located just south of our only traffic light on Ovilla Road. See below for pictures

 

 

Here is the usually mild-mannered creek which runs under Ovilla Road. Speculation is that a private bridge upstream washed out and the debris destroyed this bridge some time in the early morning hours. Two men in two pick up trucks didn't realize the bridge was out because of the heavy rain and darkness and lost their lives. I can only imagine how the owners of the private bridge feel today.

 

 

 

 

You can see the debris from the bridge laying in the creek. The Corps of Engineers say it will be 8 months before the bridge is rebuilt

Our blog (a web log or sort of online diary) is maintained by chief stall mucker, poop picker-upper and all around slave to the animals,
Norma Epstein. I write it all myself (no Pulitzer or accolades necessary) and I take all the pictures with a Minolta digital camera.
I try to take pictures daily and update the site by 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time, but it usually gets done sometime later.
