Update from this morning, October 10. The prediction for high winds was wrong. . Overnight, we got an inch and quarter of rain. It is still raining today.

Thanks for wishing me safety and thinking of me.
My heart goes out to those impacted by the hurricane.
That’s great news for you and Bruce. Stay safe and dry.

Thank you and I’m happy to report that we haven’t so far. Most of what that has fallen has just been drizzle. It rained hard one time for about three minutes.

Drizzles and gentle rains are so much better than hard rains that run off.

We had 3-4 inches of rain and heavy winds. Raining on and off but we left early this morning to get a few things taken care of. Just got home. Listening to the reports now.

It was a relief to know you didn’t have flooding. Flooding is so destructive.

We’ll be thinking of you again when the weeds react to an 1 1/4 inches of rain. (Actually we are happy to get this good news.)

Bruce was telling me a few days ago that he wouldn’t need to mow again for a while unless we got some rain. For some reason, I think he was seeing into the future! 😆
Thanks for thinking of us.

Thanks. We didn’t even get any flooding at Blackberry Homestead. I didn’t hear that any of the local cities had any flooding. After loosing 6 trees to 2 storms, I was afraid we’d loose more.

Could you hear the rain chain?? I have to enjoy yours, because I’m not likely to ever get one.

Yes, it sounds like a small stream or water fountain splashing. I’ll see if I can record a video of it with sound and post it. It might take a while before we get anymore rain.
