It's Raining, It's Pouring . . .

We are suffering from the effects of Tropical Storm Hanna's last gasp. It has been pouring steadily since last night, and our back yard is a huge lake. That's going to take awhile to dry out! I was worried about a lot of wind and potential power outages, but that doesn't seem to have materialized. It's been a bit gusty, but nothing very serious.

We are watching the McC's dog Stormy (isn't that an appropriate name, LOL) for them this weekend. We all went over last night to walk her, and we made it back to the van as it started to sprinkle. Now we need to go back over there to let her out again, but no one is leaping at the chance to get out in this deluge of Biblical proportions. Poor Stormy, actually having to do her business in all the rain! This is a day when I for one am very thankful for indoor plumbing as opposed to outhouses!

Soccer was obviously cancelled for this morning, so we slept in and are having a very relaxing day. The boys are watching football, and I am going to tag some clothing items I'm trying to sell at a consignment sale next Saturday. Then I think we're going to try our hand at making our own granola. I'll let you know how that turns out. A lot of recipes call for powdered milk, which we obviously can't use, so we'll see how it tastes.

Funny that you would say Soccer was cancelled Obviously. I would have thought they would cancel football, but they are still out there in the pooring down rain playing and ruining the field in the progress.
