10-30 It's raining, It's pouring

Rainy Day

It rained all day and at times it poured. It rained so hard that the dry wash on the back of our property was flowing and you could hear the roar from the waterfall as it pored over the ledge heading to the lake. I tried to walk out and get a picture but it was too muddy. We watched the rain for awhile and Larry used an umbrella to walk around the house and see how our drainage was working, it works as designed, the water flows to each side of our lot and then flows towards the lake. We have a big back porch and two thirds of it is covered, it rained so hard that the whole porch was wet. During the rain we were glad we didn't have to drive in it. During the day I finished a novel by Scott Turow called Limitations. It was about how the court system works on appeals and the statue of limitations. It was very interesting and easy to read. Larry worked on rebuilding Louise's computer. Flo slept.

In the evening we streamed a HBO movie called The Gathering Storm, it is about Winston S. Churchill in the years leading up to World War II. It was a true movie and very good. Afterwards we streamed a short cartoon called Grufflo. It was about a make believe creature, it was very cute and was definitely made for young children. We had a very relaxing day.
