Granny's gone and done it again

I'm no longer living the Amish traditional lifestyle. There are probably a lot of things that I do that would remind you of the Amish. We drive vehicles, we have smart phones, we have computers. There's really nothing barring us from having anything we want if we decide to get it. We have chosen to live below our means, simply as a way of not overdoing ourselves with everything we might could have.
 
It was pretty wild. I know how dire your rain situation is. A very good friend lives in Santa Barbara.
12 inches in just 8 hours was the most by far for a calendar day in history here. The previous record was 6.85 inches in 1915. All 4 interstates coming into St. Louis were closed due to flooding, some for over 5 hours in morning drive time. There were evacuations including high water rescues all across a big metropolitan area. People were carrying their children and pets out of their homes in neck deep water.
There were power outages from transformers getting submerged where it had never happened.
I imagine if you got that much rain, you would have landslides all over the place. But I really feel for your situation. We were encroaching on drought territory before this week. After the 12" morning rain, we have had a deluge every night to follow the next 3 nights.

But just remember, there is no such thing as climate change. :oops:
 
For those of you who own cats, how do you guys keep them away from lilies and/or other poisonous plants? Do cats tend to WANT to eat it? I'm assuming it'll be best to keep poisonous plants fenced in but would love to hear thoughts.
I dont have poison plants in the house and it never was a problem outside
