Rainy Day Blues

It has literally been raining all week. And not the on-and-off kind of light rain. The always on, always down pouring, flood the yard kind of rain. At first, it was okay. But now it is getting out of hand. The 14th Street Bridge in DC was shut down yesterday for flooding for cryin' out loud! I am ready for the sun as I'm sure most of you are.

The house is tolerating it well, but I'm pretty sure it is time to clean the gutters as we have a bit of overflow...but not as bad as our neighbor:


The downstairs deck is going to need some serious attention from the squigi as it is quite flooded...


...and the newly planted sod is drowning in water so I think it will need some attention once Mother Nature decides to turn off the faucet. Same goes for my pretty flower box in the front of the house.


Rain Rain Go Away!!
