rain, rain, & (you guessed it) more rain

So the ticker says "drizzle" but in fact it has been pouring all day since early this morning...

...so much rain that I was using our broom to sweep water off our porch (which was falling in from the neighbor's roof)

...so much rain, that I was worried about it leaking through the foundation (not to worry, the house is still very dry inside)

...so much rain that I decided to wear flip flops to the grocery store earlier to avoid ruining a pair of shoes and it turned out to be a good decision because even with an umbrella, I soaked my capris in the process of stepping through large puddles and moving water. Yikes! (Yes, I did clean my feet thoroughly afterwards.)

So much rain. But I am definitely NOT complaining. The temperature here has dropped at least 15 degrees in the last week and I have worn 2 long-sleeve shirts to work this week. Yippee!
