Weekend in the Country

It rained, several times, but it didn't rain all the time.  They saw deer, heard the coyotes, kept their distance from a snapping turtle, and played with tree frogs.     From Mila's hand to her hair! 

Mila and Bryce Eleanor loved the watermelon.
      
Back home and this morning, more rain.  It has rained almost every day for the last several weeks.  In fact, I'm only sure of one day it hasn't rained in May.   Enough, already.  

From our front door, you can see how the water pooled around the cul de sac.  At this point it has gone down, but is still over the sidewalk across the street.  Later, during a break in the rain, the water managed to drain, and the garbage trucks were able to get in and pick up the trash.  


Forecast for the next ten days?  Rain.  Every.  Day.

  1. I feel your pain, Jenclair. We are soaked and soggy and sopping wet. I think I'm starting to mildew! But then I'd fit in with everything around here (and that can't be).

    1. It is a mess, isn't it? California needs rain, and we have plenty to spare.

    2. It isn't fair, and I'd love to send you a healthy share of our over abundance!

  2. And there was me thinking England had the monopoly on rain in May! My sympathies...

    1. :) This much rain is a bit unusual for us. El Nino on steroids is a bad El Nino.

  3. Egads! We got some rain yesterday but not nearly what we wanted. I too have read about the El Nino. For our families sake we're hoping that the southwest gets their badly needed rain. As for your area -- I'll be hoping that it soon stops so that you can actually enjoy spring as it should be enjoyed.

    1. I do wish the distribution could be more equitable!

Good to hear from you!
