The Sky Is Falling

Here in the Northeast it's raining. Again.

Still.

Apparently continuously.

All of the local waterways, be they streams, rivers, ponds, or puddles, are well past their saturation points. I have never seen so much high water since we moved here. And tonight is a full moon. Does the full moon affect ponds and puddles, or just the oceans and other tidal bodies of water?

'Cause if it does we're up a flooded river without a paddle. Lucky for us we're on high ground. Our driveway is sinking, but the runoff is going to the neighbors. Possibly nobody deserves the runoff more than our neighbors. (Who said that?) Unfortunately for us, if this continues, it's the neighbors who have a boat in their driveway. Not us.

We have a hot tub. Does that count?

Three nights ago, the temps dropped into the low 20's. It was freakin' freezing. And the boy has a chest cough.

The good news is the daffodils don't seem to mind and they are withstanding the deluge beautifully so far. The robins seem happy as they pluck whatever it is they pluck from the ground. And the squirrels are as squirrely as you would expect a squirrel to be, so I guess this is all just spring stuff to them.

But it's so wet. So very wet. Sinkhole wet.

But at least it's not hot and humid and wet.

That would really suck. And that's what June is for.
