Blessed rain today! So many ponds are disturbingly low here.

Droughts are terrifying; unless we hit flood levels I'm pretty much always happy to see rain, hereabouts.

Rain. 40s
Should be snow and teens to twenties

I haven't seen rain in weeks.
Which is actually pretty normal for the season. It had been a while we had both normal temperatures (lowish) and weather (sunny).

I admit to not having gone outside at all today, and the curtains are drawn.
So if the weather app decided to lie, I wouldn't know it.

I should go for a walk.

We've had a bunch of rain, and its washed away all of our snow.

droughts sound scary. D: i don't think we've ever had that here. flooding? yeah, we've got that. some places here got bad drainage. lol

Droughts are definitely scary.
Of course, so can floods be...

Do you have to put up sandbags?

Not where I live lol. I was talking about other places being flooded lol. I’ve never been flooded myself lol.

Oh. It's only happened to me a couple of times, neither of them was super serious.
Well, once the town had to turn out and deploy sandbags along the river, but we didn't lose the bridge in the end, and only a couple of streets were impassible, so it was fine. (Although the government inspectors did make us close the bridge for repairs, but it was floating and had a lot of debris piled up behind it, so we were worried about losing it altogether. Repairs were more of an inconvenience than a true problem).
Since my house at the time was on a hill, I didn't even end up with a flooded root-cellar.

Maybe that's why droughts are scarier to me?

Dunno.


Anyhow! Got out for a walk today! Bit brisk, but beautiful day, really.
