Still Raining


I got up early and drove down to the park by my house.
I just had to take a picture of the park/lake.
It is just full of sea gulls. It hasn't stopped raining
in three days. We are getting more rain today and tonight.
We have a small break on Christmas Eve then another storm
hits.

This is another view of the park. I am sure if I went down
there now it would have even more water in it.
It is starting to get cooler now so I imagine in the mountains
around us it is turning into snow.

There is another park on a street over from my house and
this is the dog park. It is full of water too. I went out to feed
my chickens this morning. The only one who was grouchy was my
white Silkie. She is a little bitty thing and she was wanting to fight
the bigger hens through the fence.

I had to laugh because the weather man is still sticking to his story
that this will be the driest winter on record in this La Nina year.
I hope your days are Merry.

So much rain. Three straight days of rain is unbearable. We are having a light dusting of snow right now, but not enough to satisfy me. I'm greedy and would love an inch or two.

Kim, I heard on this evening news that there is a lot of rain coming down in your area and I was telling my husband, "That's where my blogging friend Kim lives". It's a small world isn't it. Stay high and dry. I hope that you are high enough to not get flooded at your home.
I received your hand made gift this morning. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness. You are very handy with the saw. I just wish everyone could see the two cute wooden Christmas Trees I received from you. I'll post it on my short blog . There... I made my wish come true. Take care.

Oh my gosh. That's incredible! I haven't seen anything like that around here, but then again we haven't been out since Saturday.

Wow! I know pictures never capture the magnitude of flooding or devastation, but that's a lot of water!

I love that photo you're using for your header, though! Just beautiful!

I think you need a rowboat! Yikes! Be thankful it's not snow, with that amount. I was thinking about you today. I hope your week is good.

Kim said...

Good grief, that is a lot of water. Stay high and dry, OK. Our forecast is calling for heavy rain and wind tomorrow with a coastal storm surge warning. Crazy December weather!
But I arrived home from work at 8:00pm and found the cutest little package from a wonderful friend. Thank you, thank you. Your thoughtful gift ended my day on a high note.

Sounds like your weatherman is related to ours in Texas! We are having unusually warm weather this week, in the 70's, and for your area... that is a LOT of rain! Stay on high ground and stay dry.

Merry Christmas Kim!

You have to love the weather man. At least they are committed;))
THAT is a lot of rain...imagine if it were snow? We could compete in a snowman competition;))

We have a lake in our backyard now. It's supposed to rain for several more days too. Not your typical So. Cal. desert weather.
Have a wonderful Christmas my friend :-)
Blessings,

I've been thinking about you all as the news is saying it is just pouring out there. Your pictures certainly comfirm that. I hope there isn't any flooding in your area. Stay dry and give those chickens a special treat for me :)
