I am so tired of these!!!!!

We have had over 8 inches of rain since Thursday. I feel so blessed and lucky that the worst of the rain and weather has stayed to the south and east of us. I volunteer at our local food bank and it was quite the challenge to load the trailers and trucks while it was pouring down rain. We do have an awning that helps but then the lightning started. We had to have people back into the warehouse because the forklifts couldn't get traction outside on the asphalt and then the lightning complicated things. The last people we loaded came prepared with tarps and nets but heard that the road they needed to travel had been closed due to high water. I wonder how Noah felt?

I am south of you CJ and this is what I woke up to Wednesday, from Tuesdays storms.
A short 11 months ago we had to deal with this same problem on the other side of the house. That time took out our power and a good chunck of roof. This wasn't as bad, but a Much bigger tree.

Got sooo lucky, the 3 trunks split and went around the garage.

I was so excited today as it was our second full day in a row of total sunshine.
We've been it seems like weeks of 3 or more days rain, storms, totally overcast, dreary, followed by one tease day of sun, followed by yet more of the gloom.
And we're due, yet again tomorrow, at least 2 more days in a row of rain. Sigh.
Discouraging. :cry:
And then I read all your stories.......how blessed I am just to be a bit wet and grumpy.:oops:

Here is a funny for you all. I had to laugh at this.
This morning when the alarm clock went off DH rolled over and hit the button on the weather radio. That should give you an idea of how often it has gone off.

I'm going to keep sewing my floral blocks and try to make believe it's not so gloomy :D

Sorry for all the bad weather everyone is having but here in we needed the rain desparately where the wildfires have been burning and could probably use somemore. If only it would come without the high winds.
