I made it to work OK this AM. Thought I'd avoid the 'usual' flood areas (I'm on the wrong side of town) and got stuck with everyone else, including School busses.
Only one detour on the way home. No serious damage here.
Last October was a MAJOR Disaster. The flood waters were within a 100 yards of home. The city shut down for 2 days. That was from 9 inches within 2 days after a week of rain.
This time was 'only' 5 inches in 2 days.

Sarah was getting Cabin Fever. The rain let up long enough for the pavement to dry so I grabbed the leash. It started to sprinkle at the point of no return. I kept asking "another 10 minutes" 5 minutes, 3 minutes. It worked. LOL. It's raining again now.

I'm really behind on planting now. The lawn is a mess.
Very little in the garden has grown for a week, it's been so cold and wet.
This Columbine still has not opened, 6 days after I snapped this pic.
