It's been raining a LOT and evidently there has been some river flooding--not just this week, but a week or so ago too. Lucky for us weren't not near any rivers--we're much closer to the bay than anything else where we are now. So we've just been seeing piles and piles of rain. And Sultan is going nuts stuck inside! Luckily he's good at "holding it" if you know what I mean.
And Max's school just got cancelled for today--that's the first cancellation due to rain I've ever been involved in. Crazy!
Anyway, just thought I'd let everybody know that we're dry enough. No flooding here. We are glad we're not living in our last house though--that basement would flood if you spat on it basically. So I can only imagine it's horrible right now. We don't have a basement here and so far we're all dry inside. Hopefully it stays that way. And hopefully the rain stops soon for all the poor people who are dealing with flooding!
A couple of not particularly interesting pictures, just to illustrate:
Out front with the little river running down the gutter.
The backyard is basically a swamp with pools of standing water. Luckily our soil is really sandy out here so it doesn't make for a ton of mud. Usually anyway.
You can see the grass is starting to green up in these pictures. It's about time!

This is good. But I'm thinking you don't need more than you've got. The wind has kicked up; all the ash from yesterday's field burning is in the air, plus all the top soil that uncovered, plus inside, your dad left the bedroom door open upstairs, and we're getting air through a hole in the floor - drywall dust laden air.
Strange all over. Good thing your staycation worked out!!
So strange. Too much water and rain in Southern UT and here in Northern we've not gotten enough moisture this year.
Same with the entire US. Too much water on the east and not enough on the west. I'll be happy with the earth is able to straighten itself out again someday.
I can see how wet your backyard is. Glad you're not flooded yourselves, and am sorry for those folks who are.
