My Fourth of July

 

Hi Y’all!

P1230203

Like most places in the southeastern U.S. this past week was pretty much a complete washout! 

Last Monday we left the shore and headed for some meetings my Human Papa needed to attend.  Afterward we continued on our trip, battling frequent heavy rains mixed with sections of sunshine.  Finally, in the evening, we arrived at our mountain home.  We barely got in the house when heavy rains returned in earnest. 

Creeks flooded.  The low areas of the town along the creek were flooded.  But luckily for people living in those low lying areas, the heavy downpours would let up long enough for the creeks to subside.

Once in awhile the sun would peek out and we’d go outside to play before the next deluge.

You’re right!  Those spots behind me are water splashing up! 

Oh we are still having rain…but there are longer periods of sunshine between downpours the last two days.

Y’all come back now!

  5. You had dry weather for so long, I bet all this rain is quite a change. Glad the flooding isn't too bad.

  7. I know the (soggy) feeling, Hawk. I sure hope the skies dry up soon; I am getting bored with all this rain.
    Stay dry, pal!

  10. That's a whole lot of water, Hawk. Hopefully it's going to dry out soon and not be too hot (and humid).
