Will It Ever Stop Raining?

It has rained all day today. Not just little showers, but huge downpours complete with thunderstorms and loud bangs. It hasn't stopped all day. Not an exaggeration. It has rained so much there are flooded streets in town and the American football game at the local university has been cancelled as the pitch is under water! So far we've had more rain today than we got the whole of last month. Sigh. I hope it stops. I was hoping to go for a walk this morning, but it wasn't to be. Tomorrow doesn't look a lot better either.

I did venture out to pick up middle son's dry cleaning that I'd dropped off earlier in the week and to visit a new grocery shop that had opened in town. Trader Joe's. It wasn't too bad. I managed to find some crumpets which - to be honest - was the whole reason for the visit! They do seem to have some more vegetarian frozen food though I'm trying to stay away from too much frozen food.

The rest of the day has been spent Skyping Mum, chatting to daughter, reading, working on my album and doing a bit of knitting. I find it difficult to get up much energy on a day like this. Thankfully it isn't too cold! I hope everyone else is having a drier day than mine!


I'll be dreaming of sunny Autumn days!

  1. Pretty autumn scene. I know all about rain......it came down so hard the other day that the gutters overflowed. Hubby spent today cleaning them out :) Hope you get some sunshine for the new week ahead. xx K

    1. We ended up with over 5 1/2 inches yesterday! It's still raining (a bit) today. Thank goodness the sun is supposed to be shining Monday

  2. A storm is heading our way so I imagine it will be rain and wind, I am making the most of the calmer weather today.

  3. Wish you could send some of that rain our way! I'll be happy to send you some of our sunshine, in return. Hope the rain ceases soon and you will be able to enjoy a few walks, next week. Take care.
