My bride and I have been watching a clutch of ducklings grow up on the pond behind us. They’ve gotten so big! Seeing them just makes me a little bit happy and I thought that needed to be shared this morning.

We’ve got a cold front here on the island and it’s great!
You may have heard, it’s pouring down here in Galveston. Keeping dry and safe though, so all is well.
A Storm is rolling in this morning.
