Happy 2010!!

End of a decode and beginning of another one. There is also a blue moon tonight!

Muck

We have had so much rain that there are standing puddles everywhere. Even though we have many mature trees, just too much precipitation has fallen. With three dogs, we have set up a drying area by the front door with stacks of towels so the yard muck does not become house yuck! When spring comes, hopefully the yard will dry.

Enjoying The Sun

December Snow

Here in VA we do not get December snows very often but boy did we get a load this weekend. Gorgeous today as the sun is out (and we never lost electricity -- hooray).

Rain and more rain.

Both Gravity and October have lived in VA since 1980, so almost 30 years. With the exception of tropcial storms such as Isabell (where the rain comes in many inches all at once and then quickly disappears), neither of them have seen so much rain before. The last storm dumped over 1.5 inches in only a few hours. Every time it rains now, lakes form all over the acre+ of land. The dogs want it to stop - the humans want it to stop - the cats do not care but they miss the sunshine.

Happiness is a choice.
