Another rainy weekend. This seems to be the current trend, and we need the water so much that we don't really mind. Speaking for myself, only, of course. (The 'royal we'.)
It rained some on Friday and then on Saturday afternoon the skies opened up and it poured.
A front stalled somewhere west of us and when the warm, moisture laden gulf air hit it, the rain was the result. I don't have a gage out anymore (after we stepped on or ran over the last two, I gave up!) but, judging by the amount of standing water in back, I believe we got between 3 and four inches. Water was running down our street, curb to curb, and when it hit the flow running down the cross street at the end of our block we had "white caps" from the conflicting currents. The drains did a good job of handling the water, however, and before long the street was clear again. All the creeks and bayous are running full.
I did get the front mowed Friday morning but I didn't tackle the back and now I have to wait for the mud to dry out a little. Oh, well, I think I'll just sew, instead!
