Some of the renovation work going on at the old Cotton Gin in McKinney..

A truly strange thing happened here in McKinney over the weekend...it RAINED! I say strange because we have not gotten a lot of that in north Texas for awhile, and drought conditions are rampant throughout the area...so this latest soaking rain was a welcome sight...it also brought relief from the oppresive high temperatures for a few days, something else that was welcomed...

An experiment in terror so to speak, just to prove that before there were digital cameras there were actually people who handmade prints...often times working many hours a day...
