The Hemingway lake/pond rose and overflowed its banks. The golf course sprinklers ran day and night. I ordered plans for an ark from the Internet and spoke with people at Home Depot about how much lumber would I need. Fortunately, the rain finally stopped and I never did get to build it.

Moral: today and yesterday's storms were nothing new for the bubble.
Safe the Ark plans!

My (at that time). four grandchildren were here that week.....only one day of sunshine the entire week. Thank goodness for movies!
