It's been raining here. For the last four days.
And not gentle rain, either - this is pelt-your-face angry rain, the kind that makes the trees unsteady and leaves the mud to suck at your shoes. Dent the lawn with footprints kind of rain.

So far, the sump pumps are doing their job, but it's a bit disconcerting to see the yard disappearing. And the ducks cavorting through what were flowerbeds. (hee! I originally typed 'fowlerbeds' - appropriate!)
No sign yet of the beavers. Maybe they don't like rain?
The rain is supposed to continue until Thursday. We're all going to be prune-y and weather-spotted by then, methinks.

I just finished reading a news article about your wet nasty weather down there.
I do hope you're hanging in and having fun inside. Sending warm and sunny thoughts your way. It's soggy here too, but that's normal for eastern Ontario.
And we need the rain down here!
I think a bit excess rain is better than no rain. Water is life. Even for them fowlers.
