Where Are My Sunglasses???

Hooray!  Today is beautiful!  The sky is blue with a few white fluffy clouds.  The sun is shining brightly.  The temperature is in the 60's and the windows are open!  The furry kids are happy!  Things are looking up.  As I mentioned, the forecast for the projected rainfall was up to twelve inches.  We got about four inches right around us, but other areas got more.

We have friends in South Carolina who have had it much worse.  One couple in Murrels Inlet said they had about seventeen inches the last we heard from them.  They were "marooned" in their house for a while.  Their neighborhood has small ponds and lakes like we have here and they just could not hold all the water.  It ran out into the streets and up into yards.  She sent us this picture of their street.

Another couple in Summerville had about eighteen inches at last count.  They hadn't had flooding in their immediate neighborhood, but he said that the rain was driving the snakes out of hiding and several people had been bitten by copperheads.  ICK.

So, all in all, we're very lucky.  Probably by tomorrow our yard will be dry enough for us to walk on and we can start some clean-up.  Large bags and my long-handled grabbers will be in use!  We have to get it cleaned up so Golfer can mow.  The new yard company wants to come next week and aerate. We heard from the landscaper and he wants to start work next week on the drainage problem and repairs in the back yard.  And put down some new cedar mulch!

I have finished up most of my "storm projects".  Things are under control.  BeyB got her braces off!  Her teeth are beautiful, but she says they "feel funny".

Life is good.  Stay safe!
