AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN (some more!)

It rained a lot yesterday and last night...

And it blew a lot yesterday and last night....this is the big tree right next to our house (it's part of the retention basin but practically touches our house). I love this tree. I see it outside my shower window every morning. Dang!!

AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN


YESTERDAY, after the big rain we had in the night. Clear sky, no problem, right? (There's usually no water in the retention basin. Kids playing ball and running around is the usual!)



TODAY with the rain clouds rolling in. I wonder how much this retention basin holds? But I'm not worried, really I'm not. Really I'm not. Really...did I say that already?

We are supposed to get a huge rain and wind storm today and tomorrow. Now I don't want you to think I'm worried about it, I'm not, exactly. I'm just thinking...new house, new surroundings (retention basin), new weather at this new house. Hope there's no big surprises waiting for us in the next two days. Oh, I'm sure we'll be fine--don't worry for us, but we are surrounded by a little lake since the rain we had the night before last. And it wasn't the BIG storm that's still on it's way!! Wish us luck!
