It had better get here soon, it's still raining here. Ceiling is leaking in the kitchen, that's a first. River is getting higher by the minute. Since we are only about a 100' from it, it's kind of a concern. Hasn't topped the banks yet, thank goodness, but if this keeps up, who knows what it will crest at. My entire back yard is now a mud hole. I kept my poor chickies in this morning, it finally stopped raining around 9, so I went ahead and let them out around 10, and by 10:30 it was raining again. Now they all look like feathered drowned rats again.

Nat, did Brindle get in yet, or are you not expecting them until tomorrow? Hope they are safe, looks like 1/2 their trip would have been driving in the stupid rain.
