SO MUCH RAIN

It seems silly to complain about rain when areas of the country are being hit by deadly tornadoes. So consider this a post where I am in awe of the rain, not complaining about the rain. I mean let’s be honest. Rain is awesome. It waters my plants so I don’t have to. That’s a win!

I don’t know when the last time we got this much rain was. Certainly not while I’ve lived in my house. You would have though we lived by a raging river with the water we got this week.

Check out these photos:

Just so you have an idea, there’s never more than an inch of water trickling from the drain. I usually don’t even notice it is there. But holy smokes, it was a river! And our neighbors had a nicely formed lake in their yard. Our yard didn’t fare too poorly. It was just soggy. But the same couldn’t be said for everyone.

Did you guys hear about the sink hole in Baltimore?

That’s only 30 minutes from us!

Craziness.

Stay dry, folks. Stay dry!

Guess who got a puppy!!??!!

OK, OK, it wasn’t us — but our neighbors did! (So jealous :p)

Meet Winnie.

Isn’t she so stinking cute? She is a Wheaton Terrier and our next-door neighbors brought her home about a week ago. She is the sweetest little thing.

Winnie and Remmy are already best buds. They look for each other at our shared fence line each morning.

It turns out that our neighborhood is quite the dog scene, and with Winnie around we are surrounded by pups on each side.

Awesome.

Remmy thinks it’s awesome, too. Here is a photo of him jumping for joy (or just because he’s crazy) because he has a new friend. I’m convinced that he’ll make it over the fence soon… lord help us all.

I’m still trying to convince the hubby that we should get a second dog — Rem needs a brother or sister — but if that doesn’t happen, at least we’ve got a new buddy next door.

Enjoy your weekend!
