After living in Austin for 25 years, I've got to say I've never seen a summer like this. The temperatures reached 100 degrees as early May and continued until this past weekend. In addition, we have practically no rain since last October. I do rmember 15 minutes of rain in June.
First we were on voluntary watering restrictions, then mandatory two-day-a-week. And as of TODAY we have begun STAGE 2 WATER RESTRICTIONS and are reduced to mandatory ONE day a week or penalty of a fine.
Irrigations systems, hose and sprinklers are limited to the hours between 7PM and 10AM. Watering by hand can be at any time.
Residential odd addresses on Saturday only!
Residential even addresses on Sunday only!
Thankfully, we have seen the last of 100 degree temperatures.

The Milwood/Rattan Creek Neighborhood Wide Garage Sale is scheduled for Saturday, April 16, 2011 in the Milwood/Rattan Creek Neighborhood which is at Parmer and Tamayo in northwest Austin.
The neighborhood association will advertise the sale and if you are a resident, it's up to you to organize your own sale. If you are a shopper, this is an opportunity to garage sale shop a lot of sales in a smal area and pick up some bargins.
I'll be showing property to buyers that day so I'll miss you but have a great time buying or selling.
