| Scene at the Lumberyard from the KTAB-TV video. |
Produced by KTAB’s Matt Torres, it was filmed Friday evening and began playing on KTAB this week. It is also available online at the Big Country Homepage. You can access it by clicking here. (Unfortunately, for some reason, the clip appears darker online than on television.)
The Lumberyard was also recently featured on Tumbleweed Smith’s syndicated radio program, The Sound of Texas, when Tumbleweed Smith interviewed Lumberyard owner Cody Thompson.

WEATHER REPORT
 |
| The marigolds in my flowerbed are still in full bloom. |
But I’m not complaining. It’s better to have this warm weather than freezing temperatures, sharp north winds, sleet, and snow.
This mild weather is forecast to last through the weekend with highs around seventy and lows in the forties. On Sunday night, however, a norther is supposed to hit, taking temperatures down into the thirties and on Monday night into the twenties. That should finally do it for my surviving tomatoes and peppers.
There is a 20% chance of precipitation on Sunday night.
