    The mud puddles in the driveway just got dried up yesterday! Now it's raining again and they say it's gong to mix with some snow tonight. :(

    Rain, you either love it or hate it. They say about Ireland "it'd be a great little country if you could just put a roof on it " :D

    Stay indoors Capt!

    It has been raining here all weekend and there is some serious flooding in the fields. I saw a herd of horses (are horses 'herds'?) stranded on a patch of raised ground surrounded by water today.

    The forecast for the rest of the week... rain all rotten week!

    Capt. I was in Ohio over the weekend - you have had more rain than us. We are wet but Ohio seems to be drowned at least in the area we were in - West Milton.

    One fine day and then down it comes again. :( I can't remember a winter quite as wet as this before. The River Almond is ready to burst its banks again but at least the farmer now has his stock on high ground this time. No more rescuing horses by boat this time I hope.

    Rain here to Capt, is it ever going to stop. I am thinking about renting out cabin beside Lake Bowlin if this doesn't stop.

    The rain passed us by. We don't need an ark yet. Rain is predicted again for Friday and Saturday. Dooley

    Wellthis morning it turned to snow and the bridges and overpasses. I saw 3 accidents on my way home from exercise. They say one to two inches by the time it moves out on Tues.

    Raining here in Ontario too Capt Kirk. I don't remember this much water EVER! Last night it had turned to snow so I thought I would wake up to white ground...not so. It was pouring rain when I got up and it's still pouring 2 hours later.

    Weatherman told us today we have about 4-5 dry days now but a little colder that is a fair trade if you ask me

    If we do indeed need an ark, I don't think anyone really knows how long a cubit is.

    I still have puddles in my driveway from a week ago. :'( On the upside, some robins came through yesterday and were bathing in them. :)

    Devine intervention would surely help in messuring the ark.He helped Noah .
    Maybe he will tell us when to start
    building. We have been really good little Garden Stewers.This is out of the mouth of our own little
    jubabe.
