Kayak Attack

Earlier this week Russ and I took an afternoon to kayak 5 miles down the San Marcos River- From Sewell Park to Old Bastrop Highway. I love this river! I love the serenity of being on this river. I can't wait to do it again! Here are the highlights:

• I saw a snake. First one I've seen on the river. I was sort of scared, but it was just sunbathing and didn't really move. So I didn't freak out... to bad.
• Russ only tipped once. But it was a legit tip- he was going about 1,000 mph around a bend in the river and smacked into the embankment. It was a understandable flip. (PS: I have yet to flip my kayak on the river...)
• Mostly it was just a nice peaceful ride with my sweetheart.

Now here are the pictures (Just to satisfy C's policy of not reading any blogpost unless there's pictures involved):

And there we go!

This is what the river looks like- so relaxing

Let it rain

Took a little late night trip to store and I was happy to see it
raining. Hasn't rained here in ages and it was good to see some of the
wet stuff falling from the sky. It almost seem winterish, well as
winterish as it can be at 60 degrees.

Freshly Showered

It rained buckets today. A good old fashioned Texas rain storm, a
gully washer if you will. My poor gnome nearly drowned. Partly becase
of the rain and partly because of the poor drainage in my front yard.

Out of water

Today at work my story was about the drought. Central Texas is going
to run out of water. Then a water main in town broke, ironic? Instead
of boiling we bought.
