Nineteen point fifty six. Yup.. that's correct ... 19.56. Do you suppose I'm referring to what it cost to eat at McDonalds the last time we were there? Nope; no where near that. Do you suppose that it got that cold here last night? No: it actually was about 55. Do you suppose that's the amount left in my checking account after Christmas? Close, but no. Do you suppose that's how much rain we've had since arriving here this winter? Yup. 19.56 inches. That's 19.56 of rain!
The ark is full folks, everything and everybody has sought out high ground, our complexions are mid-Michigan pale and we smell of mildew. We're wrinking at an alarming rate. When it will stop is anyone's guess. We've been here for 6 weeks and we already had more rain than Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming get in an ENTIRE year! Oh well. We take life as we receive it. Happy to wake up each morning and take a breath.
But in spite of all this H20, we're still livin' the dream ... and the thought of dealing with snow is still out of the question.
