Tuesday morning was gray. Tuesday noon time was gray also. As the temps moved up the thermometer we had rain off and on. It wasn't a bad day. No days are bad in the country.
The really heavy rain finally moved in overnight. At 9a.m. Wednesday morning, The first day of December, the last month of the 2010 year, it is 60 degrees! The rain, as forecast, is torrential. I made a fresh pot of coffee (winter spice) and have been walking dogs in between the downpours. They don't like to be wet either. If the temps had remained in the 20's and 30's the 2 to 3 inches of rain could easily have translated into 10+ inches of snow. Snowing in the western part of the state. Remind me never to move to Pittsburgh.
I have been taking advantage of the warm humid day to walk out onto the back porch and watch the rivers of rain water make their way down the driveway, through the dog yards and down the walking paths. The dry creek is running high, but draining the rain water as it always does.
No birds at the feeders at this time. guess they are waiting for the rain to let up too. High winds for this afternoon into this evening. i hate the idea that big old trees might be affected, but not much to be done about that. Wind chimes are singing. Dark day, but not an unpleasant day, turn on a light. Good day to putter around in the house... well every day is a good day to putter.
Welcome December!
