Yes, We've Had a Bit of Rain

Thanks to everyone who's checked in to make sure we're not building an ark! It's been raining here for about two weeks, and until the other day I wasn't too concerned, because we're up on a hill. But on Wednesday we had a storm, the likes of which we haven't had in a while. It had very strong winds, and we got about 2.5 inches of rain in a 30-minute period. It's still raining, but we're hoping it ends this weekend.

The ground was so saturated and the winds so forceful that this tree came up by the roots and toppled over, blocking the driveway (but -- whew! -- missing the satellite dish!)
