Hello everyone! I sure wish I could send some rain to Texas! We were under almost severe drought conditions here for so long and under fire watches daily because it was so dry. Well, I prayed for rain along with so many other folks and our prayers were answered ten fold. It has rained nonstop for 7 or 8 days .... horrible flooding in some parts of the city of Daytona Beach. $52 milliion dollars in damages! I am so thankful we are not in a flood zone and our house is on high ground, our pool overflowed for two days but we didn't have any water breaching the house. The news has shown so many homes flooded and water rising continuously. This wasn't even considered a tropical storm! News reports said Daytona Beach got more rain from this system than we had in 2004 from Hurricanes Charley, Frances & Jeanne combined! A lot of folks are really worried because June 1st is the start of Tropical Storm & Hurricane season! I just hope we dry out before any storms hit but usually when we have the threat of hurricanes it's late in the season, August and September.

The sun is shining a little bit for the first time in over a week! I hope the weather reports are wrong and I continue to see that bright stuff! We were supposed to get another 1 - 2" of rain again today.

Peace & Blessings to you all on this Memorial Day Weekend!
