Wild Hogs Creating Issues In Muldoon

The hogs are back with a vengeance. A number of them have been hit on the roadways. These are big hogs and can do lots of expensive damage. Be aware, especially at night and early mornings of black hogs crossing. They are hard to see and everyone has to be on the constant look out.

Rain

On Monday, May 25, Muldoon got rain. It was a welcomed sight to see the rain showers come through and bring over 2.2 inches of rain. The showers were spaced out perfectly so the moisture could soak in and not run off. The grass and flowers have brightened up and the trees were washed of a lot of the pollen covered tassels.

This was the first good rain in a long time and has already helped bring on the spring grasses. The winds had dried the ground and there were lots of cracks in the pastures. The rain really helped heal the ground cracks; it also cooled the temperatures down and making the days very pleasant.

The rain has helped wash the heavy pollen count out of the air. The pollen has had a number of people in the area down with seasonal allergies.

Out and About

Jennifer and Clay Rightmer were thrilled to have Jennifer’s brother and sister in law, Wade and Karen Howard from Canada. The really exciting visitor was Jennifer’s two-year-old niece, Georgia. This was the first time the family had a chance to meet Georgia. Coming in see the Howards while they were in Muldoon were Lane Rightmer who came in from Waco and Georgia’s other aunt, Julie Zavala from Georgetown. It was a wonderful few days as they got to know little Georgia and visit with Wade and Karen.
