Rain, Man

Again, as usual, the meteorologists were wrong about the rain event. We need rain, we anticipated rain, we prepared for rain. What we got was an on-going onslaught of rain.

What was predicted to be around 2 inches of rain turned into seven inches. Hard to believe. The rain gauge doesn't lie.

Before the rain event, he spread more grass seed in the areas of the yard where he had recently used Round-up. He killed the ground ivy, the crab grass, and tried to kill the broad leaf. He then sowed grass seed, which soon after floated into the next county, along with the store-bought mulch.

The basement also flooded, but it was nothing. Got nothing wet except the floor. The rear gutter backed up, over flowed into the window well, which filled up like an aquarium and poured into the basement.

Eventually it stopped raining.



And then the fog rolled in. It's warmer outside than in. Warm and humid, like Florida. Not a whisper of a breeze.
