Photo from online local newspaper Wow... we had so much rain last night. We had a huge storm at about eleven thirty and another "huger" one at about three a.m. All in all some of the local towns got eight inches or more Our guages showed five and a quarter... and our neighbors showed more and less, so we don't really know. I do know it over flowed our gutters and ran like Niagra into Mom's bedroom flooding her window sill and putting "tea" in her dolly tea party she had set up with antique dolls just inside the window. Needless to say, we were sopping with towels and moving stuff nearly all night. Today finds us kinda grumpy, achey, and just plain not good company.... This too shall pass... we still haven't experienced the terrors of the northern and river border cities and towns. Those poor people.
S o.... I took this photo of the sunset, clear and promising... A new night to refocus, replenish, retreat and regroup.... 
And our lilies for the sake of beauty... Aren't they beautiful... (Pay no attention to that dead stick behind them. It is a rosebush we have had since I was a little girl and we are giving it every chance to come out of it... haha.... but it won't.... so we will have to nip it off very soon....

***Happy Birthday to you***
We too are getting hit with rain and flooding here in Ohio as so many are. My basement is a mess with water. I understand what you are going through. We've had rain for days and more on the way. BUT it could be so much worse, I'm very lucky.
Sorry about your Mom's bedroom.
Hang in there I wish you the best!
Blessings & hugs ~Mary~ :-}
I live in Missouri and we have been rained on much too much lately. I'm quite sick of rainy days and rainy nights! Have a great day! Twyla
I hope that was the worst of it for you!
Happy Birthday!
Wow all of you in the Midwest have been hit so hard with this flooding.
Thinking of you...
