Water going over a falls down the hill from our house.
I’m happy to report that the front that brought all the wind I mentioned in my last post actually brought us some much-needed rain. It started to rain about nightfall Tuesday, and as far as we can tell it rained all night.
When Betsy got up to put out her bird feeders Wednesday morning, she could see and hear water running down the edge of the fairway behind the house. We also had water running down the roadside ditch in front of the house. It’s been a while since we’ve seen either of those things happen.
We saw the waterfall in the picture above as we were on our way to the grocery store (Senior Discount Day at Kroger!). This little waterfall is down the hill from our house and has been dry for months. It sure looks a lot better with water!
All in all I have to admit that the rain makes all the aggrevations caused by the wind very worthwhile!

This waterfall down the road is mostly a wet-weather waterfall, but we certainly enjoy it when there is water.

I noticed that the water level in our lakes is higher now also. But, unfortunately, there seem to be way too many leaves in the lakes. I guess that’s because of those strong winds.
Anyway, it’s raining again today and maybe snow is in the near future.

Rain here for us in Maryland too. It’s been raining all day. It’s been so dreary all week. I must admit I could do with a bit of sunshine about now. 🙂

It is nice to have a little waterfall down the road from us.
Ruth, I’ll have to see what I can do about sound.
Carla, we, too, have noticed a lot of leaves in the lakes. It definitely does not look good.
