If you happen to be on the water at Lake Limestone ...one of the few places you can go to to gas up is the the Running Branch Marina located at the end of a finger on the west side of the lake , on the old Mckenzie Cemetary Rd. Running Branch has been in operation as long as I can remember ( I think since the lake was new) and is my spot for ice, drinks, gas, food,and bait when we run out. If you happen to visit the area stop in and get some supplies.

As the drought continues at least here in central Texas ....lake water levels are falling...including on Lake Limestone where this photo was snapped on Saturday. From looking at the water marks on the bulkheads it appears that Limestone may be about 4 feet down , which in many cases makes it difficult for some folks to even launch. If they wait too long some boats will be stranded. Rising and falling levels can have some positive effects however , especially in the long run, on fishing as low water levels stimulates new plant growth and means an increase in the food chain supply. Hopefully the rains will come this fall. Last year's rains seemed later than normal too.

If you are thinking of a weekend trip to a Texas lake you may want to check with locals to be sure you will be eve able to launch your boat.

Both yesterday and today I checked our thermometer outside at home. It is in the shade and read 100 degrees yesterday and today at 7 PM !

Earlier this week we had a high pushing 107. I haven't checked to see about records but a feel this is one of the hottest Junes ever for this part of Texas. Our sprinklers have been running non stop. There will be a point however where we will have to start conserving more. This area has a rather large aquifer compared to others but we still need to conserve. Let's hope the heat wave dissipates real soon! If id doesn't we are all in for a long hot summer. Make sure those pets have plent of water right now too.

Stay Cool!

Located on Hwy 79 in Franklin , Texas .....the old Carnegie Library certainly is reminiscent of days gone by in small towns across the USA. This library was built in 1913 and is still serving as a library after all those years. Of 31 Carnegie Libraries built in Texas...only 5 still serve as libraries and this is one of them. The basement of the building however has served in the past as classrooms for elementary students, a dressing room for sports teams from the local high school, and domicile for the superintendent of schools.
