I am happy it isn't snow, but when I was startled out of a sound sleep at 4:30 this morning with a National Weather Emergency alert I wasn't happy. My first thought was that we were having a tornado and I was ready to head for cover, but then they said it was a flood warning. Really!!! Do I look like I am out driving in the middle of the night. SIGH!!!
It was then I heard a steady plunk, plunk, plunk that sounded suspiciously like it was in my bedroom. Feeling quite certain that I was mistaken I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep. That was when I heard something hit my blinds. With one eye open I turned on a light and saw that the frame above the window was leaking and plaster was falling off. That was the end of sleeping. SIGH!!!
I'm thinking I might need that row boat I featured in my last post here, as it rained 5" overnight and is supposed to rain the rest of the day. Or maybe I could dig out those thirty year old water wings my children used to wear. Surely they would keep me afloat.
Seems like a good day for making mud pies and building dams in the gutter. Did anyone else do that when they were kids. We didn't need a lot of fancy toys back then. Nature provided us with plenty of resources for creative play.
Maybe I need a nap before I think about heading out. Then I can look around for some water wings, a snorkel, and oxygen tanks. (I'll need the oxygen after digging around in the garage).
Hope everyone has a wonderful Good Friday. Stay dry wherever you are.
