Monday morning and it’s raining. That’s not so bad. Weekdays are for working anyhow and besides, this time of year, rain is needed for everything to grow. Problem is, this is the third straight day of continuous rain, with at least a couple more in the forecast. Let’s just say these can be pretty challenging days with four kids in the house.
Then again, all this pales in comparison to areas who have been victims of flooding. It’s been a bad spring in a few places this year, some having broken century old records, and all this rain is surely cause for more concern. A few years ago, we had problems with our sump pump and our basement flooded. As I often do, I wrote about it through the characters in the strip. The whole thing lasted less than twenty four hours and although we lost a few things, it gave us an opportunity to do a major clean-up and a chance to get rid of a whole bunch of other unwanted stuff. In other words, it was not a major catastrophe. I cannot begin to imagine what it’s like in areas where water surrounds your house for a few days and you lose so much, where people are displaced for weeks and some even perishing.
Our thoughts are with all of you who are affected today. May all this rain stop, and the flood waters simply go away.
all this rain will make your garden even more beautiful, daniel.
Daniel;
Just think of all the weeding you will have to do:) The rain will go away and then the heat will commence. Not sure which I prefer. Have a great day.
