Rain, rain
Morning, Just Around the Bend
I just emptied 5.5 inches of rain from our rain gauge. Most of it fell since yesterday morning as what’s left of Hurricane/Tropical Depression/Storm Ida continues to dump rain in the area. Portions of my backyard look like swampland with water standing over wide areas. I’d love a sunning morning and day about now.
Update – Nov 13th, 2009: There was 2.75 inches of additional rain in the gauge this morning.
You may notice a new web color scheme for Meandering Passage I installed this morning. I was tired of the white background so decided to go with some color. We’ll see how this grows on me. :-)

Ah, yes a splash of color. Looks like you’re stepping out of the comfort zone. I like it!
We flew in and out of Charlotte mid-afternoon yesterday and it was a steady rain then. Not a beach day!
I know what you mean about needing a sunny day; by the middle of December I always feel the same way.
@Monte Stevens – I’ll adapt! ;-)
@Steve Skinner – I don’t know if I could handle all the rain you guys have in the Northwest.
The autumn colored hillside is very pretty. The excessive water must be a thing to contend with. That much rain can’t soak in I would think so it means flooded streets and drains. Very nice, sunny post today anyway!
Wow! 5.5 inches of rain! I couldn’t imagine that much rain here in Charleston. It’d have nowhere to go! It rained all day yesterday, accumulating to about 1 inch or so, perhaps more, but not even close to 5.5 inches! Do you see animals walking down the street two-by-two? ;-)
@Paul – Any minute now I expect those animals to start lining up. I looked at the rain gauge and there’s been an additional 2.25 inches of rain since yesterday. So thats about 7.75 inches this week, so far. I’d like to get out to Bull Hole maybe tomorrow…I doubt you could even see the dam. :-)
Earl: I don’t know if you could even get close to Bull Hole! I would imagine that the water is up very high! Hmmm, I may have to make a trip over there on Saturday morning if I can get my head off of the pillow. I got my D300 back yesterday and it is working and looks better than new. They did a great job on cleaning it and repair it.
