I Love a Rainy Day 9 March 2015

Whoever wrote the song "I Love a Rainy Day " never spent 24 hours of rain in Weslaco, TX with us. It started to rain at 12:30 PM on Sunday and did not stop until around noon on Monday. Our neighbor says we received 3 1/2 inches of rain during that time period. However once the rain stopped the Sun did come out and it did turn out to be a nice day. But the evening sky again was indicating that we might have more rain.
This area is mainly an agriculture area and although they don't mine a few rainy days this torrential rain that we have received in March is a killer for the Sugar Cane,  Vegetable crops and Orange, Grapefruit and Orange Groves.
When we left home we brought all our  Pickerel fillets, which we had in the freezer,   with us but when we were in MX we ate fresh fish since it was available everyday right on the beach from the fishermen. We invited friends for supper today and ask if the would like Pickerel in lieu of the proverbial Chicken or a Roast. There quick reply was, where did you get the Pickerel and yes we would like to have Pickerel. We would have like to have had supper on the patio but by 5 PM it got cloudy and was threatening rain again so we decide to eat indoors. Of course  we got another shower during the night. cheers
