Thank You, Fay!

Finally....

I'm not the best videographer in the world, but you get the idea.

And even though the water is pretty muddy right now, the creek is back up where it should be already. Of course, if the rain keeps up as long as they say it might, it will more than likely get a bit higher than normal. But thankfully it has lots of leeway.

Water, Water....Nowhere

Well, on Thursday a few clouds actually appeared. I was hopeful for a bit, but those hopes were completely dashed. Still no rain.

The creek that runs through my backyard is not very deep on a good day, but now it's nearly nonexistent. Can't even hear it any more, and one of my favorite things is to sit on the deck and listen to the water wash over the rocks.

And I don't know if it's the lack of rain or those icky worms in their icky webs, but my little walnut tree has lost every last one of its leaves. The larger ones are even losing theirs as well.

Sooner or later is has to rain.

What Rain?

Today seems to be a day for making up for lost time when it comes to rain. The sun comes out for a few minutes, then it suddenly gets dark and starts pouring. Then, the sun comes out, and it starts all over again. Tango, my neighbor's cat, has been on my porch all day, which is unusual for him. He likes to wander, but I guess he hasn't wanted to chance getting caught in a downpour. Funny thing is, when this picture was taken, it was pouring like crazy and the wind was blowing some of the rain onto the porch...and there was Tango...sitting in that misting rain. Guess maybe he was enjoying the break from the heat.
