RAIN AGAIN
I know. I shouldn't complain.
Yesterday was nice.
But today there is more rain than there was on Monday.
If all this rain was snow, we would be up to our ass in it.
But there is and will be snow down to 2000 feet, they say.
That means another beauteous day tomorrow, looking at the mountain.
The water is not really hurting us. I just worry about it. We have one leak at the join between the sunroom and the main house structure but that is an old standby.
A pot and a towel around the pot.
Franklin had to walk this afternoon. 15 minutes. Rewarded with a huge poop. I am glad that he moaned me out the door.
He knows.
We have more rain this year than last. 4 versus 3 inches. How many inches of rain did you have in your town last year?
If you want to read about it, here it is in the local paper.
There is no drainage on most of our roads. It is left to run to the lowest spot and then into the giant flood control channels that mostly follow natural valleys. So on the way to the flood control system, it floods the streets.
They just go out and put the temporary signs up and people take the other route. Or go slow through the water.
If it rained every week it would be a problem but it doesn't.
We are really as obsessed about the weather as John's Mom was when she lived in Florida. Good days, bad days, weather in the north. She was always looking at the weather.
Now we are doing the same.
