And watered again

Oh boy! Flooding rains! Gravel drives disappearing! Garden erosion! Electric outages! Hot Steamroom Weather! Doesn't that sound joyous? I bet you were wishing you were here. I bet you wish you could have hot sticky drooling muggy doggies plastered to your legs. I bet you wish you could have your garden plants wash away and huge rivers of water rushing in the rows where the corn once stood. Upside ------ we have class 4 rapids in our backyard.  We could open up a white water rafting company!  We could camp out along a rushing river!  We could do tubing trips! Downside - our "creek" is only about 1/2 mile long so I am thinking the rafting trips might be a little bit on the quick side for most people. Upside - I don't have to water the garden today. Downside - there doesn't appear to be anything left in the garden to water. Upside - while the electric was out, everyone took showers outside in the torrential downpour because we had no water.  Downside - everyone took showers outside in the torrential downpour because we had no water. Upside - I no longer wonder what it would be like to vacation in Kochi. Downside - I actually never wondered what it would be like to vacation in Kochi. Upside - we made it through yet another monsoon filled subtropical day. Downside - tomorrow...more of the same. Oh please Mother Nature - send a little breeze our way.  We would ever so much appreciate it. Signed, The Midwest, Eastern Seaboard, North Eastern States, Southern States, and everywhere else where people rejoice when the temperatures fall to 90* and think - wow 90* is such a relief!
