R.A.I.N...

Rain, rain, go away...

What an unusual week!  The rain began on Tuesday morning...it's now Thursday noon, and it's still raining!  We've emptied our rain gage several times, and the total for the past three days is nearing 8".  Add that to the 3.5" we had last weekend from Hurricane Irene, and you've got a lot of water with nowhere to go.Many people have water in their basements, not to mention some people along the river being evacuated. 

We have much to be thankful for...we live on a hill... we don't have to drive to go to work...and we have a warm, dry place to go to after working outside in the rain all morning...

The kids are enjoying an unexpected day off, due to flooded roads.  It was a good time to read about the Phillies' win, with a little help from some friends...remember them?



They are not and will NOT be house kitties, but they sure are cute!

Rain, rain, go away, don't come back for many days!

  3. Wouldn't it be nice if you could send the rain away and choose where it would go? Glad you're safe and dry. I must say that I agree with Rhoda~they look awfully comfortable, and it does appear that they are in a house. Otherwise, you have an awfully fancy barn.

  5. Yes, I know..the kitties look rather comfy...but yes, Rhoda, they have to stay on a lap! Their sister doesn't sit too well, so she had to stay outside. :)
