Today I learned the literal meaning of a flash flood warning as I drove home from Chick-fil-a. The banks of the bayous are bulging and our roads have turned to rivers. Since we've returned to Houston we've received more rain in one week than we had during the entire summer last year. I think we can officially say the great Texas drought is behind us.
Down the street is drenched, but I think it would take another week of this before it reached our door.
A few showers don't slow James down. He could play outside all day.
This is when I looked over and saw James filling his boot with rain and drinking it. We might have a future survivor man on our hands.
It's been pretty nice being home bound all week. I've been able to get my nesting on. The only time we left the house was to curb a couple cravings. Like these crimson red cherries. Mmmmmmm!
Umbrella shaped mushrooms are are sprouting all over the place. Flooding is great for greening up the foliage.
I think all this precipitation is making my baby grow. I feel like I've doubled in size this past week. I can't complain though because this weather is helping keep things cool. I will do a rain dance for all my friends who are in the dry Utah desert. And hopefully you will all have a wet weekend too.
