Wet, wet, wet. Those are the buzz words of the day. It’s been raining for over 24 hours here in the mountains. Whee. Fortunately, as Frances head north, the rain has lessened quite a bit. The creek across from the house has stayed within it banks which make me very happy. The low place in the back yard has become a huge pond. This morning, birds were using it as a super huge bird bath. Grey and dreary are also buzz words as well. They describe the sky. They describe my mood. Sometimes I think they describe the state of my soul. “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” is cooking on the stove. It’s what’s keeping me focused right now.
