I grew up in Illinois farm country and I remember lots more trees between fields and farms etc. Now, it seems it's just one giant field for miles. A shame what greed can do. Stay dry and "afloat"! I'm fine but it was quite a Sunday night into Monday...very lucky I am.

On good caulking session and no more leaks. We didn't have enough rain last year for the leaks to reveal themselves. We do seem to be a lot warmer but it is still cool when it rains.L.

There is lots of flat land not far from us that will form 'lakes' when we get a lot of rain. Hope this rain brings you some green pretty quickly.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-44882034000498908982014-04-29T09:28:22.517-05:002014-04-29T09:28:22.517-05:00I'm just happy it's rain and not snow!I'm just happy it's rain and not snow!Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-72940787846865868422014-04-29T09:06:30.064-05:002014-04-29T09:06:30.064-05:00I like your highway shot.

I've got one dog who hates to go out in the rain - and another who loves to play and splash in the puddles. Very familiar with wet dog.
